Coexistence of Geographic Tongue and Fissured Tongue

A 25-year-old female presented with burning and pain in her mouth. A few erythematous patches with slightly raised keratotic band-shaped borders were present on the dorsum of her tongue. Fissures were also observed. History taking revealed good nutritional status, no systemi c diseases and no personal or familial history of psoriasis. Geographic tongue is a benign recurrent condition in which depapillated migratory areas are seen on the tongue. Fissured tongue is characterized by grooves of variable depth on the dorsum of the tongue. These two conditions are discussed in this article.

Özet

Coğrafik dil, tekrarlayarak yer değiştiren sınırları belirgin depapille alanlardan oluşan benign bir durumdur. Yanma ve ağrı semptomlarına yol açabilir. Fissürlü dilde ise dil üzerinde çeşitli derinliklerde asemptomatik oluklanmalar mevcuttur. 25 yaşında bir bayan hasta polikliniğimize ağzında yanma ve ağrı şikayeti ile başvurdu. Muayenesinde dil dorsumunda birkaç adet hafif kabarık keratotik bant şeklinde sınırı olan eritemli yamalar tespit edildi. Ayrıca dilinde oluklanmalar mevcuttu. Alınan anamnezinde beslenme durumunun iyi olduğu, herhangi bir siste mik hastalığı olmadığı, aile bireylerinde ve kendisinde psoriasis tanısı olmadığı görüldü. Bu olgu sunumunda coğrafik dil ve fissürlü dile değinilmiştir.
