Geographic tongue filiform papillae

Geographic Tongue Filiform Papillae. They are fine small cone-shaped papillae covering most of the dorsum of the tongue. Filiform fungiform circumvallate and foliate. According to genetic analysis fissured tongue with smooth-surfaced papillae was transmitted as a dominant characteristic with incomplete penetrance and was preceded by geographic tongue. It is characterized by circinate erythematous ulcer-like lesions of the dorsum and lateral border of the tongue due to loss of filiform papillae of the tongue epithelium.

A condition that appears when overgrown and elongated papillae trap bacteria and food particles. Geographic tongue also known as erythema migrans and benign migratory glossitis is a condition of unknown cause. Successful management was achieved with topical and systemic antihistamine. Benign migratory glossitis also known as geographic tongue is a recurrent condition of unknown etiology characterized by loss of epithelium particularly of the filiform papillae on the dorsum. It is characterized by circinate erythematous ulcer-like lesions of the dorsum and lateral border of the tongue due to loss of filiform papillae of the tongue epithelium. Geographic tongue also known as benign migratory glossitis is a genetic condition that affects the filiform papillae of the tongue creating lesions that g.

According to genetic analysis fissured tongue with smooth-surfaced papillae was transmitted as a dominant characteristic with incomplete penetrance and was preceded by geographic tongue.

They are fine small cone-shaped papillae covering most of the dorsum of the tongue. Foliate papillae on the sides of the tongue. Successful management was achieved with topical and systemic antihistamine. Filiform papilla very numerous and responsible for tactile sensitivity. The mucosal surface of the body was smooth with some desquamating cells but hairs were covered by an extensive plaque of microorganism. The tapering filiform papillae seen here are the most numerous type covering most of the anterior two thirds of the tongue.
