What Is Black, Pea Sized Bulge On Tongue Which Burst Causing Bleeding?

Hi!
My mom is 53 years old and a few days ago she was eating dinner and suddenly had a prickling feeling on her tongue. When we checked she had a bulge that was black in colour and about the size of a pea. After 15 minutes or so it had tripled in size and then it burst causing a lot of bleeding. Could it be a burst blood vessel?

Hi,Dear,Dont get hopeless and desperate.
Thanks for the query to HCM.
I went through your query in-depth and Understood your health concerns.
In my opinion the cause-
- of your mothers bleed from black pea sized bulge is as follows-
a-Sudden noticing of the tumour mostly -leads me to label the bleeding cause -is because of the--BITE-TRAUMA -which lead to bite HEMATOMA -of black colour.
-As I am short of more clinical data,I would alert YOU for the CAUTION-of such a complaint-as I would advise Surgeons opinion-on toungue who would fix the diagnosis by clinical and FNAC Biopsy for any-Suspicious growth or the un-noticed-TOUNGUE Ulcer, which would cause such a event of bleeding at Dinner time as your mother had.
-It could be a benign tumour-AV malformation HAMARTOMA-Hemangioma unnoticed and now found after bleed.
Advise
a-Consult ER-Surgeon who would according to the causal factor diagnosed after proper investigations as suggested above.
Hope this would help you to work a plan with your doctor.
Wishing you early and fast recovery.
