Abstract
Traditionally, lymphogranuloma venereum (LGV) has been associated with disease of the genital area. However, atypical presentations and proctitis are increasingly observed. We report a case of LGV affecting the dorsum of the tongue, which presented as a very painful ulcer. The response to doxycycline (100 mg two times per day for 21 days) was satisfactory. This case may represent a paradigm shift in the differential diagnosis of lingual ulcers.
