Abstract
Benign migratory glossitis also known as geographical tongue is a recurrent condition of unknown etiology characterized by loss of epithelium particularly of the filiform papillae on the dorsum of the tongue. Clinically the appearance is of multifocal, circinate, irregular erythematous patches bounded by slightly elevated, white colored keratotic bands. Several etiologic factors have been proposed. The condition may remain asymptomatic or patients may present with complains of pain and burning sensation. A review of the current opinion on benign migratory glossitis is presented.
