Traumatic eosinophilic granuloma is a rare and self-limiting benign oral mucosal lesion. We present a case of 95-year male presented with an ulcer on the right lateral border of the tongue. Lesion was painful. No lymph node was palpable. Patient was a chronic smoker for 30 years. Routine blood tests were normal. Histopathological diagnosis of traumatic eosinophilic granuloma/ TUSE was made showing normally oriented hyperplastic keratinized stratified squamous lining epithelium ulcerated and replaced by granulation tissue at places. There is dense inflammatory infiltrate rich in eosinophils and few benign mononuclear cells present together with dilated vessels in the sub epithelium. The infiltrate is extending into muscle bundles. No evidence of malignancy seen. Patient was advised to be on follow up.
