Fissured (Scrotal) Tongue
Lingua Plicata
This page was last updated: July 29, 2010
Scrotal Tongue is also called fissured tongue or lingua plicata. It is a familial, but not always a congenital condition. The fissures are of variable depth and usually extend laterally from a median groove. It is an asymptomatic condition, unless food particles and debris lodging in the depths of the fissures cause a mild glossitis.
