Introduction: Migratory stomatitis is a benign disorder of unknown cause. Lesions are characterized by erythematous erosive areas with irregular gray-white borders. The margins are slightly protruding and resemble the contours of a geographic map. Lesions of migratory stomatitis can affect different anatomical regions. Objective: The objective of this work is to report a case of migratory stomatitis in the soft palate. Case report: A 20-year-old male presented with geographic tongue and migratory stomatitis in the soft palate. Conclusion: Migratory stomatitis can also affect atypical anatomical regions (such as the soft palate) of individuals without a history of stress and anxiety.

Aim: This case report presents unnecessary diagnostic procedures performed on a patient with a morphological variation of the tongue called geographic tongue. Case report: In this case, patient presented with discomfort on the left side of the tongue, dry mouth and lesions on the dorsal side of the tongue that lasted 3-4 months. After clinical examination by specialists in otorhinolaryngology and dermatology department, the patient was referred to the Department of Oral Medicine, where he was given a final diagnosis of geographic tongue. Conclusion: Geographic tongue is a benign condition that does not require any special treatment, only follow-ups.

“…However, it has been shown that the tongue epithelium is continually renewed by proliferation, maturation, and apoptosis processes, which are partly controlled by the epidermal growth factor (EGF) [ 4 ]. Occasionally, lesions are found in other oral cavity places, called migratory stomatitis, geographic stomatitis, or ectopic GT [ 5 , 6 ]. Studies have shown a significant association between GT and fissured tongue (FT) [ 7 ].…”

Background Geographic Tongue (GT) is a benign inflammatory disorder of unknown etiology, which is characterized by the loss of epithelium due to the atrophy of filiform papillae. It usually occurs on the dorsum of the tongue and may extend to its lateral edges. It appears as an erythematous area surrounded by whitish and slightly elevated margins. In most cases, the condition is asymptomatic, although some individuals may report symptoms that include a burning sensation of the tongue. Objective Assess whether there was a change in the clinical aspect of Geographic Tongue (GT) during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods Thirty-two participants were recruited from Dentistry School Universidade Federal Fluminense. Anamnesis and oral examination were performed to collect medical history. The participants were split into two groups: control group (no GT) n = 20 and test group (with GT) n = 12. In the second step, nine participants from a 12 (75%) of the test group were contacted by phone and answered a questionnaire about changes in the signs and symptoms of GT during the pandemic. The subjects were subdivided into two groups: GT with and without signs and symptoms exacerbation. Results In the first phase of the research, no statistical difference between control and test groups was observed regarding clinical criteria such as age (p + 0.72), gender (p = 0.24), and systemic diseases (p = 0.58). In the second phase, there was a statistical difference between GT groups with or without symptom exacerbation in terms of age and stress as a factor of the oral symptoms (p = 0.3 and 0.2), respectively. Younger patients showed a worsening of the oral lesions related to GT (p = 0.3) and reported stress during the pandemic (p = 0.02). Conclusion Younger patients were more susceptible to stress and presented more exacerbation of the oral lesions related to GT.
