Desquamative glossitis is a chronic, recurrent and benign inflammatory disorder of the tongue, most often referred to as geographic tongue or benign migratory glossitis. The term “geographic” reflects the visual appearance of the lesions: smooth red areas with irregular white or yellowish borders resemble a map. These lesions may disappear in one area and reappear in another, which explains the word “migratory” in the alternative clinical name. StatPearls describes geographic tongue as a benign chronic relapsing inflammatory condition of unknown etiology, usually presenting as erythematous migratory circinate patches that create a map-like pattern [1].
