Isang 53‑taong gulang na lalaki ang ipinadala sa Dermatology Clinic dahil sa paglaki sa dulo ng kanyang dila na tumagal ng dalawang taon. Hindi siya nakatanggap ng anumang paggamot dahil walang sintomas ang sugat. Ang paglaki ay dahan‑dahang lumaki at halos hindi nagbago hanggang sa dumating siya sa klinika. Sa pangkalahatan, malusog siya ngunit naninigarilyo nang halos 30 taon, mga 20 sigarilyo bawat araw. Itinanggi niya ang anumang kasaysayan ng trauma sa kanyang oral cavity. Ang sugat ay isang buhol na may tinatayang 0.5 cm diameter sa dulo ng dila. Matigas ito at ang kulay ay katulad ng normal na tissue ng dila.
A 53-year-old man was referred to the Dermatology Clinic with a 2-year history of an exophytic lesion on the tip of his tongue. He did not accept any treatment since the lesion had no subjective symptoms. The lesion developed slowly and showed no notable change in size until this visit. The patient was systemically healthy, but he had a long history of smoking for almost 30 years and at least 20 cigarettes per day. In addition, he denied any history of trauma in his oral cavity. The lesion showed a well-defined nodule with approximate 0.5 cm diameter on the tip of the tongue. The nodule was firm and presented a color resembling normal mucosa.
