We present a case of a large pyogenic granuloma of the tongue causing swallowing difficulties in an 8-week-old infant. In the literature, we found no case reports of pyogenic granuloma in such a young infant. It is a quickly growing, hypertrophic inflammatory change consisting of exceptionally richly vascularized granular tissue. The granuloma was located in the central part of the tongue and appeared dark pink in color. It was an easily bleeding pedunculated tumor measuring 3 x 2.5 cm. The etiology of the tumor is unknown; it can arise in sites of previous injury, chronic irritation and infection. The course of the disease is benign and painless, though it can be recurrent. No recurrence was found in the control examination after 3 years.
我们报告一例8周龄婴儿因舌部巨大化脓性肉芽肿导致吞咽困难的病例。在文献中，我们未发现如此年幼婴儿发生化脓性肉芽肿的病例报告。它是一种迅速生长的肥厚性炎症改变，由血管异常丰富的颗粒组织构成。肉芽肿位于舌中部，呈暗粉色。它是一个易出血的带蒂肿瘤，大小为3×2.5厘米。肿瘤病因不明；可发生于既往损伤、慢性刺激及感染部位。该病病程良性且无痛，不过可能复发。3年后的对照检查未发现复发情况。
