Abstract
Morsicatio linguarum is an uncommon disorder caused by continuous biting of the tongue, generally the borders. It is usually found among people who are stressed or psycholo-gically impaired. Clinically, morsicatio linguarum presents as a macerated grey-white patch or plaque of the lingual mucosa. It is frequently misdiagnosed as it is confused with other clinically identical lesions involving the lingual mucosa. In this report, a case of bil-ateral morsicatio linguarum in a 44-year-old male patient with a history of tongue biting is presented.
