Benign Migratory Glossitis (Lingual Erythema Migrans)

Irena V Fisenko

Benign Migratory Glossitis affects only a small fraction of the general population (1-3%) with a female predilection and should be distinguished from other benign and malignant conditions affecting oral mucosal and the tongue. With the mounting research in recent years, this condition has been found to have a certain correlation with some immunological conditions in terms of clinical association and histopathological findings, as well as in terms of sharing common immunohistochemical markers and genetic components, all of which have bearing on its diagnosis and clinical approach and management.
