摘要
Characteristically, pyogenic granuloma of the tongue is more common on the lateral side of the tongue. The reasons for this are unclear, but may be related to trauma from adjacent teeth or dentures. This article was prompted by the presentation of two patients with lesions in the midline of the anterior surface of the dorsum of the tongue. Both lesions were successfully removed surgically, and histology revealed them to be pyogenic granulomas. There has been no evidence of recurrence in the 6th month of the follow-up period.
