1/10. Tassier cleft no 30 (median cleft from lower lip to manubrium).One-year-old female presented with cleft of lower lip, mandible, fissured tongue, absent hyoid bone, cleft of manubrium sterni, later is detected clinically by suprasternal bulge at suprasternal region while crying. It is radiologically detected by wide apart medial end of clavicle. This is extremely rare anomaly known as Tassier Cleft no 30.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = tongue (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/10. Granulomatous cheilitis. A review and report of a case.The melkersson-rosenthal syndrome (MRS) is a rare triad of unilateral facial paralysis, facial swelling, and fissured tongue; often only two of the components are manifest. The occurrence of swollen lips together with the characteristic microscopic appearance is called granulomatous cheilitis, which many believe is the oligosymptomatic form of MRS. This article reviews the literature on granulomatous cheilitis associated with MRS. An unusual case of a swollen upper lip together with a fissured tongue, strongly indicating the oligosymptomatic manifestations of MRS, is presented.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 2keywords = tongue (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/10. Chondroectodermal dysplasia (ellis-van creveld syndrome): report of two cases.Our two patients with chondroectodermal dysplasia had most of the classic manifestations of the syndrome. The simultaneous occurrence of partial anodontia and embedded supernumerary and second premolars in the mandible in one patient was interesting. The inverted impaction of the left maxillary lateral incisor is also a unique finding. The median fissure on the tongue may be an associated developmental anomaly of the syndrome.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = tongue (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/10. pemphigus vegetans presenting as scrotal tongue.A case of scrotal tongue is described. Histological and immunofluorescent findings revealed that this case was pemphigus vegetans, which should therefore be added to the differential diagnosis of scrotal tongue.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 6keywords = tongue (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/10. Follicular atrophoderma with scrotal tongue.Follicular atrophoderma has been associated with a variety of findings. In our patient's family the disease was present in the mother and all of her living children. Scrotal tongue was also found in all but one child. We think that follicular atrophoderma is probably inherited as an autosomal dominant trait.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 5keywords = tongue (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/10. Geographic tongue in two siblings.We report two illustrative cases of geographic tongue which occurred in 6- and 4-year-old sisters whose father had fissured tongue. The elder sister had mild atopic dermatitis and nail changes, but there was no family history suggestive of psoriasis. Histologically, the geographic tongue in the elder sister showed the same features as the oral lesions in pustular psoriasis. From a review of the literature we suggest that geographic tongue may be classified into two types, one that commonly occurs in atopics and another that develops as an oral manifestation of pustular psoriasis, although both types show similar histopathological features.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 8keywords = tongue (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/10. Plasma cell orificial mucositis. Report of a case and review of the literature.Plasma cell orificial mucositis is a benign idiopathic condition of orificial mucous membranes, characterized histopathologically by a dense plasmacytic infiltrate. Although plasma cell orificial mucositis was originally described by Zoon as occurring on the glans penis, conditions similar to plasma cell orificial mucositis involving other body orifices have been reported under various names. A patient with involvement of the lips and epiglottis associated with psoriasis and fissured tongue is described. Plasma cell orificial mucositis must be differentiated from numerous other entities, including erythroplasia of Queyrat, allergic contact mucositis, plasmacytoma, plasmoacanthoma, syphilis, candidiasis, and cheilitis granulomatosa.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = tongue (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/10. Nonpainful, erythematous, circinate lesions of a protean nature on a fissured tongue.We have presented a case of BMG with concomitant fissured tongue, a not uncommon association for two rather common oral diseases. BMG is relatively simple to recognize, and the diagnosis most commonly is based on clinical appearance and history of the presence of the lesions. Clinicians should be aware, however, of the similarity, clinically and histologically, of lesions of BMG with other, more serious diseases such as psoriasis and Reiter's syndrome. patients with characteristic lesions of BMG should be evaluated closely for signs and symptoms of these other diseases.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 5keywords = tongue (Clic here for more details about this article) |
9/10. Hereditary proximal spinal and bulbar motor neuron disease of late onset. A report of six cases.Six cases of a comparatively rare motor neuron disease are described. Essential features of this syndrome include (1) X-linked inheritance; (2) adult onset in the fourth to fifth decades; (3) slow progression; (4) predominant proximal and bulbar muscle involvement; and (5) absence of sensory or pyramidal tract signs. The previously reported finding of gynecomastia was absent, whereas longitudinal midline furrowing of the tongue was present in only one case. electromyography in five patients revealed neurogenic changes. Muscle biopsies in two patients showed fiber type grouping with type I fiber predominance. The coexistence of this form of motor neuron disease and diabetes mellitus is prominent in family 2. It is important to recognize that these patients have a chronic, slowly progressive illness. The prognosis for longevity is good, although severe disability is inevitable. Management includes reassurance, supportive therapy, genetic counseling, and periodic testing for diabetes.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = tongue (Clic here for more details about this article) |
10/10. Acquired hypertrichosis lanuginosa.A 32-year-old Thai woman developed acquired hypertrichosis lanuginosa with generalized lanugo hair, deeply furrowed tongue, and keratosis pilaris. She had metastatic adenocarcinoma of the liver. A review of world literature reveals 24 cases of which 22 were associated with proven malignancies. Acquired hypertrichosis lanuginosa is almost always a cutaneous sign of internal cancer.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = tongue (Clic here for more details about this article) |
