Q7: Cat bit your tongue?



This 13yr old boy has a swelling under his tongue that is causing him discomfort and difficulty in articulating.

What is your diagnosis?

What is the precursor to this lesion?

    Is it a ranula or a cyst at the floor of the tongue?

    No, in fact this is a PYOGENIC GRANULOMA of the undersurface of the tongue.

    It is usually preceded by trauma - such as tongue-biting or piercing.

    I think the guy is hispanic and has a lack of prayer in his life.
