“…Development of black hairy tongue or lingua villosa nigra is established as occurring secondary to poor oral hygiene, tobacco or alcohol use, AIDS, cancer, antibiotics (penicillin, auremycin, mepazine, tetracycline, neomycin, doxycycline), antidepressants (fluoxetine), antipsychotics (thiothixene, olanzapine), anticholinergics (benztropine), or proton pump inhibitors (8)(9)(10). There are no documented instances of development of lingua villosa nigra following administration of RAI therapy, and the majority of literature discussing oral mucosal lesions does not discuss development of pigmentation of the fungiform papillae as an adverse event to medication (11)(12)(13).…”

Objective:We report the case of a 52-year-old black woman who developed discoloration of her tongue following radioactive iodine (RAI) ablation. RAI is a common method of treatment for a number of thyroid disorders, including thyroid malignancies and hyperthyroidism. Common side effects of this therapy include hypothyroidism, changes in taste, nausea, and sialadenitis.Methods: This is an Institutional Review Boardapproved single-case chart review with a patient consent.Results: The patient presented with no changes in oral sensation and mild diffuse elongation of the filiform papillae with diffuse, symmetrical, black pigmentation in the distribution of the fungiform papillae 9 days following treatment with RAI. There were no new exposures known to cause a similar reaction, and she had not changed her diet or oral hygiene habits during the development of this symptom.Conclusion: To our knowledge, this is the first documented case of pigmentation change to the tongue following treatment with RAI.
