Comments

An 8 year old girl developed painful red hypertrophic fungiform papillae on the tip and dorsolateral part of the tongue. The center of the tongue, lips, gingivae, palate, and throat appeared normal. The stomatitis lasted 1 week and followed by 2 weeks a similar eruption in her 2 year old sister. These findings correspond to "eruptive familial lingual papillitis" described by JP Lacour et al. Pediatr Dermatol 1997;14:13-6.
