Geographic tongue is a benign condition affecting the dorsum of tongue. The migratory nature and the serpiginous lesions with white elevated borders define this condition. Coexistence of geographic tongue with scrotal tongue has been rarely reported in literature. We present an interesting case of geographic with scrotal tongue in a 9 year old boy. The parents were reassured about the condition and only symptomatic treatment was given to the boy.
