[Correlation between exfoliatio linguae areata and atopy].
One hundred thirty-two atopic patients have been investigated for coincidental tongue lesions. There was a significantly increased frequency of exfoliatio linguae areata (35.7%) amongst the patients when compared to a control group. These results let suggest that exfoliatio linguae areata is a possible manifestation of atopy. Psychosomatic factors which probably contribute to both exfoliatio linguae areata and atopy are suggested to explain the high incidence of this anomaly of the tongue in atopics.
