Riga–Fede disease (or syndrome) is an oral condition found albeit rarely in newborns that manifests as an ulceration on the ventral surface of the tongue or on the inner surface of the lower lip. It is caused by trauma to the soft tissue from erupted baby teeth.It can be described as a sublingual traumatic ulceration. Although it begins as an ulceration it may progress to a large fibrous mass with repeated trauma.
