An ulcer on the tongue of a child.

This article discusses the case of a 9-year-old girl who presented with recurrent painful tongue ulcers over a period of two years. The diagnosis was determined to be eosinophilic ulcer of the oral mucosa (EUOM), a rare and self-limiting condition that commonly occurs on the tongue. The exact cause of EUOM is unknown, but it is believed to be traumatic in origin. The patient was treated with topical and oral corticosteroids, resulting in complete healing without recurrence. The article provides a detailed discussion of the clinical presentation, histopathology, and treatment options for EUOM. [Extracted from the article]
