Migratory stomatitis

Migratory stomatitis

Migratory stomatitis (also called Oral erythema migrans) is a benign condition on the oral soft tissue. This condition has two forms: (i) the common form, which is consisted from red lesions with white borders on the tongue only. This form is called geographic tongue (also called migratory glossitis). (ii) The uncommon form is consisted from similar lesions throughout the oral cavity (on the tongue and in addition also on the buccal mucosa, labial mucosa, soft palate or floor of the mouth).[1] Beside the differences in locations of presentation inside the oral cavity and prevalence among the general population, in all other aspects of clinical significance, symptoms, and treatment, these two forms are identical.[1]
