Median rhomboid glossitis (MRG) is unique tongue pathology of uncertain etiology, typically located around the midline of dorsal surface of tongue. Clinically it appears as reddish, depapillated area usually rhomboid in shape. Due its asymptomatic nature it is considered as a benign condition which in most of the cases generally discovered on routine oral examination. In this paper, we present a first case on median rhomboid glossitis which consulted for routine dental checkup. To our knowledge MRG has never been reported in Pakistani literature. We present a case report literature review, discussion including insight regarding aetiology, clinical presentation and management of the condition.
