ABSTRACTIntroduction: In medical philosophy, the tongue is believed to be a barometer of the oral cavity’s health and the body as a whole. The mucosal tongue surface often shows a different feature from normal conditions, thus called normal variation. Geographic tongue and fissured tongue are normal variations that are asymptomatic but can become symptomatic when influenced by new irritating habits such as daily food consumption with an extremely spicy taste. This case report was aimed to describe abnormalities in normal tongue variation triggered by the new habit of consuming such foods in a teenage patient. The patient was also found to be anaemic. Case report: An 18-year-old woman went to the Oral Medicine Polyclinics of Dr Hasan Sadikin Hospital with a geographic tongue diagnosis accompanied by the fissured tongue. The patient complained of a sore tongue and felt numbness and soreness like being prickly, especially when exposed to spicy food, since one year prior. There was a history of spicy and hot foods consumption almost every day. The results of the haematology examination showed that the patient was in an anaemic condition. The treatment included instructions for maintaining oral health, administration of Fe, B12, folic acid preparations, and mouthwash usage. The patient showed improvement after treatment for three weeks. Conclusion: The condition of normal tongue variation, which initially asymptomatic, can become symptomatic due to irritation of hot and spicy food in anaemic patients.Keywords: Geographic tongue, fissured tongue, normal tongue variations, hot and spicy food, anaemia.
