An 8 year-old girl presented to the basic health unit for evaluation of ulcers and bubbles on dorsum of tongue with a 3-day evolution. Her mother reported that the patient already had lesions similar when she was 3 years old, without diagnosis. The child had no history of recent herpes virus infection or medication use. On general physical examination there were no alterations. Bleeding ulcers, irregular ulcerations with yellow base, and erythematous were present on dorsum of tongue. Incisional biopsy was performed, and with basis on clinical and histopathologic aspects the diagnosis of erythema multiforme minor was established. The patient was treated with oral corticosteroids presenting total remission of the lesion in 5 days.
