A Spontaneously Regressing Botryomycoma of the Tongue in A Young Boy With Down Syndrome

Abstract

A benign oral tumor may sometimes mimic a malignancy, particularly when it recurs after surgical excision. We report the first observation of botryomycoma (pyogenic granuloma) of the tongue in a young boy with Down syndrome (DS) which recurred after surgical resection and eventually spontaneously regressed.
