📋Overview
Furrowed tongue, also known as scrotal tongue or fissured tongue, is a benign condition characterized by grooves or furrows on the dorsal surface of the tongue. It is considered a variant of normal anatomy rather than a disease. The term 'furrowed tongue' is a descriptive label rather than a diagnosis, and it is often used interchangeably with 'fissured tongue' in modern clinical practice.
