Median rhomboid glossitis with palatal 'kissing lesion'-A case report

Abstract

Median rhomboid glossitis manifests as a well-delineated erythematous area located along the midline posterior dorsal tongue. Its rhomboid shape usually "points" in an antero-posterior direction. Median rhomboid glossitis may have a "kissing lesion," or area of roughness, most commonly in the area of the hard and soft palate. Here is a case report of 24 year old male patient having median rhomboid glossitis with kissing lesions over the hard palate.
