Geographic Tongue

The answer to yesterdays diagnostic challenge was #1 Geographic Tongue.  Also known as benign migratory glossitis, this is condition has irregular and smooth patches on the tongue.  It is fairly common and can last a long period of time.  It is more common in older people and the cause is unknown.  

No treatment is necessary but any lesions or changes in the mouth should be evaluated by your doctor or dentist.
