Abstract
The report is on the case of Riga-Fede's disease which we experienced in a nine-month-old boy. In its primary examination we found a phyma covered with yellowish white fur as big as a broad bean on the frenulum of the tongue. We cured it operatively by ablation and extraction.
Its histological findings showed a chronic granulomatous inflammation picture. Observing the state in the lower jaw incisor tooth which had a sharp and jagged edge, and the histological findings of the phyma, the author assumed that it was caused by constant irritation of the tongue from the tooth.
