Abstract
Disorders of the tongue can present as a diagnostic and therapeutic dilemma for the treating physicians as well as the surgeons. Proper diagnosis requires a thorough history, including onset and duration of lesion, history of dental trauma and tobacco or alcohol addiction. Clinical examination of tongue with palpation and neck for cervical lymphadenopathy are essential part of diagnostic protocol. Lesions of tongue have a broad range of differential diagnosis ranging from benign idiopathic lesions (like geographic tongue, fissured tongue, and hairy tongue) to chronic infections and malignant lesions. Fissured tongue is a condition frequently seen in the general population that is characterized by grooves that vary in depth and are noted along the dorsal and lateral aspects of the tongue. Chronic tongue lesions of unclear etiology may require biopsy for diagnosis and further management. We are presenting here such rare case of deep fissured tongue of long duration which came out as malignant on biopsy and histopathological examination.
