title: Sarcoidosis of the tongue--a case report.
abstract: A case of sarcoidosis, unusual in that it was confined to the tongue, is reported in a 50 year-old female. The condition resolved after 1 year of steroid therapy and excision of fibrous tethering bands. Intra-oral sarcoidosis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of lingual swelling and induration.
