Case Reports

Multiple linear ulcers on the dorsum of the tongue in a patient with Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia



M Zulian, J Bellome, and GW DeBoom

An unusual clinical presentation of an eosinophilic ulcer of the tongue has been described. This lesion is seen most often in the fourth to sixth decades of life and has been shown to have a strong predilection for males. The etiology is unknown although trauma has been implicated by several investigators. Because of the clinical resemblance of eosinophilic ulcer to carcinoma, biopsy examination is recommended. After the diagnosis is made, conservative management is most appropriate.
