Resumo: Oral pulse granuloma (OPG) is an uncommon condition, characterized as a foreign body reaction to vegetable particles. This study aimed to report two cases of OPG on the tongue, an unusual site for this lesion. Two female patients aged 75 and 53 years presented a painless, well-delimited submucosal nodule on the dorsal tongue. Given the similar clinical features, the clinical diagnoses for both cases were mesenchymal benign neoplasms. Excisional biopsies were performed in both cases. Histological evaluation revealed mixed inflammatory infiltrate surrounding a foreign body resembling a vegetable particle. Bacterial colonies were also observed. Based on these findings, the diagnosis of OPG was established for the two cases. In both cases the tongue recovered uneventfully, and there are no signs of recurrence after 8 and 12 months of follow-up, respectively. OPG could be a challenging diagnosis, given the overlapping clinical presentation with other oral diseases, mainly benign mesenchymal neoplasms.
