Abstract
- Angiokeratoma is a rare, cutaneous disorder that typically manifests as multiple lesions and is often associated with a number of metabolic disorders. Although solitary cutaneous forms have been reported, localized lesions within the oral tongue have not been described so far. We report a 16-year-old male with a solitary pigmented lesion of his oral tongue tip. The lesion was a mixture of purple and white in color with a granulomatous appearance. Histopathological examination of the lesion obtained by excisional biopsy showed features consistent with angiokeratoma. We report a case of solitary angiokeratoma of the oral tongue tip and review the clinical and pathologic features of this unusual condition.
