The clinical examination showed a white plaque measuring about 2 cm in diameter, with an erythematous halo, not removable by scraping (Fig. 1a). Also there was an erythematous atrophic area over which was a white plaque shaped similarly to the palatal lesion, on the dorsum of the tongue, which suggested candidosis associated with median rhomboid glossitis (Fig. 1b).
