TONGUE DISORDERSSARANG SURESH HOTCHANDANI
INTRODUCTION• In generalized stomatis, tongue can also be
affected…• Examples• Generalized stomatitis in Herpes
• Tongue can also shows signs or lesions for indication of other systemic diseases.• Examples• Hairy leukoplakia in AIDS• Anemia
CLASSIFICATION OF TONGUE DISORDERS
DEVELOPMENTAL
Microglossia
Ankyloglossia
Cleft tongue
Fissured tongue
Median rhomboid glossitis
Benign migratory glossitis
Hairy tongue
ACQUIRED
Sore Tongue
Actinomycosis
Lichen Planus
Lingual Hematoma
Ulcer of Tongue
Foliate Papilla
SORE TONGUE• Sore = tender to touch, painful, inflamed, sensitive.
• CAUSES• Ulcers of tongue due to any cause• Glossitis• Sore tongue but physically normal tongue• Geographic tongue• Etc……….
ULCERATION OF TONGUE• CAUSES• Apthous ulcers
• Herpes stomatitis
• Lichen planus
• Carcinoma
• Mostly lateral border of tongue is affected with ulcer.
• If ulcer is on dorsum of tongue then don’t consider carcinoma at first because carcinoma on dorsum of tongue is rare.
GLOSSITIS•It is a term used for;•Red •Smooth•Sore tongue
•CAUSES• Anemia• Iron deficiency anemia• Pernicious anemia
• Vitamin deficiency• Candidiasis• Antibiotic use
CLINICAL FEATURES•WOMEN are more frequently affected in
glossitis due to anemia
• Tongue appears SMOOTH, RED & SORE.
• Smoothness of tongue is due to ATROPHY OF FILIFORM PAPILLA
VITAMIN DEFICIENCY• In RIBOFLAVIN DEFICIENCY and sometimes
NICOTINIC ACID DEFICIENCY GLOSSITIS can occur along with ANGULAR STOMATITIS.
• However diagnosis of glossitis in an healthy patient can not be made on basis of cause of vitamin deficiency alone.
• Although vitamin B group drugs are given for relieve of soreness in glossitis but these are frequently ineffective and this thing make it clear that VITAMIN DEFICIENCY ALONE IS NOT CAUSE OF GLOSSITIS
CANDIDIASIS (FUNGAL INFECTION)
• Candidiasis causes tongue to be RED, SORE AND EDEMATOUS
• Cause of this fungal infection is ANTIBIOTICS which causes ANTIBIOTIC STOMATITIS along with ANGULAR STOMATITIS.
• Acute antibiotic induced stomatitis occurs due to LONG TERM USE of broad spectrum antibiotics
• Example; Tetracycline
• In SJOGREN SYNDROME, tongue becomes;•Red•Cobblestone
appearance
LICHEN PLANUS• SMOOTH TONGUE due to atrophy of tongue papilla
• SORENESS
• NO ERYTHEMA
• BLUISH WHITE SHINING on tongue
SORE BUT PHYSICALLY NORMAL TONGUE
• This title means there is soreness but no other lesion or pathology is visible on tongue.
• This type of soreness creates difficulty in diagnosis
• This type of condition is mostly PSYCHOGENIC and is sometime called BURNING MOUTH SYNDROME which is type of ATYPICAL FACIAL PAIN.
• Diagnosis is by EXCLUSION OF ORGANIC DISEASE
ERYTHME MIGRANS LINGUAE
BENIGN MIGRATORYGLOSSITIS
ERYTHEMA AREATAMIGRANS
STOMATITIS AREATA MIGRANS
GEOGRAPHIC TONGUE
INTRODUCTION
• It is common BENIGN CONDITION mostly affecting DORSAL SURFACE OF TONGUE.
• Characterized by RECURRENT APPEARANCE & DISAPPEARANCE OF RED AREAS ON TONGUE
ETIOLOGY
•Cause is UNKNOWN but sometimes there is FAMILY HISTORY
•Sometimes due to PSORIASIS.
CLINICAL FEATURES….
• Lesion appears IrREguLaR, Smooth RED AREA with SHARPLY DEFINED MARGINS.
• RED AREA is due to shortening of FILIFORM PAPILLA• These lesions increase for few days and then disappear and then reappear in
another area.
• Sometimes the lesion is ANULAR with slightly raised pale margins and then after sometimes these rings join to form a scalloped pattern.
• Mostly ASYMPTOMATIC but some patients complain of soreness.
• Sometimes children with geographic tongue complain that TONGUE IS HYPERSENSITIVE and this hypersensitivity prevents them from eating their food.
• The reason for this is that some areas of tongue have normal epithelium while at some areas these is inflamed epithelium.
HISTOLOGICAL FEATURES•Thinning Of Epithelium At Center Of Lesion
•HYPERPLASIA & HYPERKERATOSIS AT PERIPHERY
•Chronic inflammatory cells in underlying connective tissue•Loss Of Filiform Papillae At The Center Of Ring.
DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS
Chemical Burn
Candidiasis
Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Psoriasis
Lichen Planus
Contact Stomatis
TREATMENT
• As the lesion is benign and asymptomatic, usually there is no treatment required.
• However studies showed successful treatment with following drugs.• Cyclosporine
• Topical and systemic antihistamine
• Topical retinoid
• Topical corticosteroids
• Mouth rinses
• Zinc supplements
Hairy Tongue
Black Hairy
Tongue
Lingua Villus Nigra
INTRODUCTION•It is commonly observed condition characterized by ABNORMAL COATING on DORSAL SURFACE of tongue, due to DEFECTIVE DESQUAMATION of FILLIFORM PAPILLA.
ETIOLOGY CUM PREDISPOSING FACTORS
BACTERIA
POOR ORAL HYGEINE TOBBACO USE
BROAD SPECTURM ANTIBIOTICS
RADIOTHERAPY DRUGS (STEROID)
ANTISEPTIC MOUTHWASH
DEFECTIVE DIET
PATHOLOGY
In hairy tongue HYPERTROPHY OF FILIFORM PAPILLA occurs which then becomes elongated and then
forms thick fur on dorsum of tongue. These elongated papilla then covered by CHROMOGENIC BACTERIA.
CLINICAL FEATURES
•Lesion is mostly on DORSUM OF TONGUE.•Mostly Adults Males.•Mostly ASYMPTOMATIC but sometimes Burning During Swallowing•HALITOSIS and GAGGING SENSATION because of
retention of debris in between filiform papilla.
TREATMENT
Brushing tongue with Tongue
Scrapper.
MEDIAN RHOMBOID GLOSSITIS
• It is abnormality in the MIDLINE OF TONGUE at the junction of anterior 2/3 with posterior 1/3 characterized by RHOMBOID SHAPED SMOOTH ERYTHEMATOUS AREA LACKING LINGUAL PAPILLA AND TASTE BUDS.
• It is thought to be developmental but is not seen in children.
• Erythematous appearance is due to absence of filiform papilla.
• This lesion of MRG is susceptible to candida infection.
• Normally median rhomboid glossitis lesion is pink in color but sometime due to fungal infection its surface can appear white.
CLINICAL FEATURES
•Mostly in ADULTS and is ASYMPTOMATIC.•Appear as NODULAR, RED or PINK area of depapillation•Usually flat or slightly elevated.
DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS
•Lingual thyroid•Granuloma TB•Tertiary syphilis•Deep fungal infection•Granular cell Tumor
MANAGEMENT
No treatment necessary..Antifungal drugs if candidiasis…
Palliative…
