Jun 1st, 2017 - A 54-year-old female smoker was admitted to the hospital for fever and respiratory infection. On the day of admission, she reported lesions of the oral mucosa for the past several months.

Black hairy tongue is characterized by an abnormal coating of the dorsal surface of the tongue. Although the cause is unknown, several precipitating factors may be implicated in the pathogenesis of this disorder.

A 71-year-old man presents for evaluation of an asymptomatic black discoloration of the tongue that he noticed several days earlier. The tongue does not itch or hurt, and the patient is otherwise well, although he is concerned about potential mali.
