📋Overview
Furrowed Tongue, also referred to as fissured or scrotal tongue, is generally considered a variant of normal anatomy rather than a disease. This condition involves the development of visible grooves or furrows across the dorsal surface of the tongue.
These grooves may vary in depth and pattern, often appearing as a descriptive clinical observation rather than a specific diagnosis. The condition is typically asymptomatic and is frequently identified during routine oral examinations.
