Description

Watercolour drawing of leucoma on the tongue of a woman, 34 years of age. The diseased area was very soft and fluffy towards the middle of the tongue. It had commenced 19 years previously after a burn of the surface of the tongue, and had made more rapid progress after the application of caustic.
