A 14-year-old Hispanic boy presented with bilateral nodular lesions on the dorsal aspect of his tongue. He guessed that the lesions had been present for more than a year. They were not painful and had not changed in size or color.
Chris Taylor, APRN, FNP, of Metro Nashville Public Health Department, Tenn, noted that the patient's tongue was large and thickened but did not protrude from the mouth or interfere with oral function--as in functional macroglossia.
The parents of this 4-month-old infant were concerned about an atrophic, 0.6-cm area on their son's parietal scalp that was surrounded by dark hair. The rest of the scalp was normal, and the child was otherwise healthy.
