TONGUE PAIN:
DIAGNOSTIC WORKUP
(Algorithmic Diagnosis of Symptoms and Signs)
Most lesions will respond to conservative treatment and time. In patients with signs of systemic disease and vitamin deficiency, the workup includes serum B12 and folate level, upper GI series, ANA, and
Trichinella
antibody titer. Focal lesions that persist should command a referral to a dentist or oral surgeon.

SMOOTH TONGUE AND OTHER CHANGES:
Approach to the Diagnosis
(Differential Diagnosis in Primary Care)
The approach to the diagnosis will depend largely on the clinical picture. A smooth tongue with pallor of the nails and conjunctiva suggests pernicious anemia or iron deficiency anemia. A swollen tongue with cardiovascular abnormalities suggests amyloidosis. A swollen tongue and protruding jaw suggest acromegaly, whereas a swollen tongue and nonpitting edema prompt a diagnosis of myxedema. A dry, furry tongue suggests dehydration.

SWOLLEN TONGUE:
Approach to the Diagnosis
(Differential Diagnosis in Primary Care)
The diagnosis of macroglossia depends on the presence of other physical findings (almost invariably present) associated with the disorders mentioned above, and, in most cases, the results of a systematic workup. A lingual biopsy is valuable in primary amyloidosis.
