title: [A woman with a red demarcation of the tongue].
abstract: A 68-year-old woman had a red demarcation of the tongue, without any discomfort. Because of the use of corticosteroid inhalations, it was thought that this was caused by median rhomboid glossitis, based on Candida albicans. Oral antimycotic therapy made the demarcation disappear, which confirmed the diagnosis.
