I. Patient B., 61, came to the hospital with a diagnosis of a regional hospital tongue tumor. 5 years ago patient pricked the right half of the tongue with a fish bone, resulting in inflammation followed by suppuration. A year later, he began to notice that at the site of the former abscess, the tongue seemed to harden, and there were no acute painful sensations. Chewing is painless. A year ago, when feeling with his finger, patient noted a hardness resembling a bone, but since there was no sharp anxiety, he did not pay special attention to this. However, the pains in the tongue that have intensified in recent years forced him to see a doctor.
