Median Rhomboid Glossitis

Normal Enlarged Tonsils
This photograph shows a pair of slightly enlarged but normal tonsils in a child.
Normal Tonsils
The appearance of the normal palatine tonsils is extremely varied. The tonsils may appear to protrude so far that they almost meet in the midline or they may be buried in the oropharyngeal wall to such...
Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Tongue
This is a characteristic ulcerative, infiltrative and advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the lateral border of the tongue, which cause severe limitation of tongue movement.
Lingual Thyroid

Atrophic Glossitis
Note the beefy red glazed tongue of a patient with atrophic glossitis due to an iron deficiency. The smooth red surface develops as a result of the loss of the filiform papillae.
Geographic Tongue
In this condition, the filiform papillae disappear from localized areas of the tongue resulting in a patchy red area of depapillation, which is known as geographic or "map" tongue. These patches...
Fissured Tongue
Almost 5% of the population have a tongue with fissures and grooves. The fissured pattern is variable, they tend to appear in late childhood and deepen with age. This illustration shows a typical fissured...
Black Hairy Tongue
This photograph shows the typical appearance of a black hairy tongue. The filiform papillae elongate to produce the "hair" y coating. The true reason for the black colour has never been explained,...
Crenellated Tongue
The scalloped indentations seen along the lateral border of this patient's relatively large tongue is a normal variant.
