A concurrent kissing lesion of palate: A case report

Abstract

Median rhomboid glossitis (MRG) is well-delineated erythematous area seen in the dorsum aspect of tongue posteriorly along the midline. It is diamond (rhomboid) in shape where the two ends are in anteroposterior direction. The constant contact of MRG to the area of the palate leads to the formation “kissing lesion” or area of erythematous/ roughness patch. Association of candidiasis as oral opportunistic infection is most commonly affecting people whose immune system is compromised due to several etiologies.
