  • Title: Glossodynia and necrosis of the tongue caused by giant cell arteritis.
    Author: Ciantar M, Adlam DM.
    Journal: Br J Oral Maxillofac Surg; 2008 Apr; 46(3):231-233. PubMed ID: 17482729.
    Abstract:
    Spontaneous, endogenous pain in the tongue (glossodynia) is rare, particularly when this progresses to ulceration and necrosis of the tongue. We report the case of a 74-year-old woman who presented with glossodynia that eventually resulted in necrosis of the tongue. The diminished blood supply was the result of histologically confirmed giant cell arteritis.
