Traumatic Ulcerative Granuloma with Stromal Eosinophilia (TUGSE) is a benign lesion affecting the oral mucosa, which resembles oral squamous cell carcinoma. The aetiopathogenesis remains uncertain, although trauma is believed to be the major factor in its development. A biopsy is required to exclude malignancy, despite the ulcer being benign in nature. Histopathologically, this lesion is predominantly composed of eosinophils and other inflammatory cells in submucosa and mucosa. Treatment modalities include observation, antibiotics, steroid therapy and surgery. Thus, this case report is a rare documentation of TUGSE, an unlikely occurrence in the oral cavity.
