Median rhomboid glossitis (MRG), also called central papillary atrophy of the tongue, was initially attributed to be a developmental disorder of the tongue that occurred due to the failure of tuberculum impar to withdraw before the union of the lateral halves of the tongue. However, now it is believed to be a lesion arising due to chronic candidal infection. Occasionally it may be associated with the erythematous lesion on the palate just opposing the tongue lesion, referred to as the kissing lesion. In this article we report a case of median rhomboid glossitis with a palatal kissing lesion in a 30-year-old male patient.

“…Adult males are more frequently affected than females. [6] The classical appearance of MRG is as a focus of atrophic symmetrical filiform papilla and exhibits either a lobulated/a smooth surface architecture. [7] The clinical appearance of MRG is most commonly seen as a lesion is an area of erythematous/white-erythematous patch on the median dorsum surface of the tongue, anterior to the point where the right and left circumvallate papilla meet.…”

Median rhomboid glossitis (MRG) is well-delineated erythematous area seen in the dorsum aspect of tongue posteriorly along the midline. It is diamond (rhomboid) in shape where the two ends are in anteroposterior direction. The constant contact of MRG to the area of the palate leads to the formation "kissing lesion" or area of erythematous/ roughness patch. Association of candidiasis as oral opportunistic infection is most commonly affecting people whose immune system is compromised due to several etiologies.

“…7 The prevalence of median rhomboid glossitis in general population is less than 1 % and in Indian population varies between 0.04 and 0.01% with adult males being more commonly affected than females. 3 MRG is classically described as a focus of symmetrical tlliform papillary atrophy and may exhibit either a smooth or a lobulated surface architecture. 8 The most common clinical presentation of the disease is an erythematous or white-erytbematous area on 1he dorsal median surface of the tongue, immediately prior to Region V of the circum.vallate papilla (terminal gingiva).…”

“…2 Glossite lasangigue mediane de la face dorsal langue was the name given initially by Brocq and Pautrier to a benign lesion which occurs in posterior midline of the dorsum of the tongue at about the middle third or in front of circumvallate papillae. 3 Median rhomboid glossitis (MRG) also known under the terms, Central papillary atrophy of the tongue (CPA), localized atrophy of the tongue papillae (LAT), atrophy of the tongue papillae, median type (ATP) is a benign lesion of uncertain etiology. This lesion used to be considered solely as a developmental disorder.…”
