Fissured tongue (also known as scrotal tongue lingua plicata Plicated tongue and furrowed tongue) is a benign condition characterized by deep grooves (fissures) in the dorsum of the tongue. Although these grooves may look unsettling the condition is usually painless. Some individuals may complain of an associated burning sensation however.
