Lingual telangiectatic granuloma in a postpartum patient
Main Article Content
Abstract
Telangiectatic granuloma is a benign hyperplastic lesion affecting skin and mucosa, prevalent in pregnant women. The current report is a case of a 23-year-old postpartum patient who presented with a 4 cm tumor lesion on the tongue tip, soft consistency, and pedunculated base, interfering with speech and feeding. Surgical excision was performed under local anesthesia. Histopathological analysis confirmed telangiectatic granuloma, showing capillary vessel neoformation and inflammatory cells. Follow-up revealed adequate healing without recurrence after two months, demonstrating the effectiveness of surgical treatment.
