discomfort

25
Q

papilloma appearance?

lingual aspect of alveolus bilaterally

33

not always symmetrical

34
Q

bigger with age

35
Q

what are normal features of the dorsum of tongue?

A
  • symmetrical pattern
  • Outlines of papillae (small red dots)
  • Foliate and vallate papillae
  • Symmetry of movements
36
Q

what are normal features of the lateral tongue?

A
  • No papillae on ventral surface - lining epithelium

A

migratory
deviation in turnover of cells
