Abstract
Benign migratory Glossitis (BMG) is a benign, usually asymptomatic
mucosal lesion of dorsal surface of the tongue, characterized by
depapillated erythematous patches separated by white irregular borders.
Etiology of BMG is unknown. Risk factors include psoriasis, fissured
tongue, diabetes mellitus, hypersensitivity and psychological factors.
