Abstract
There are a number of lingual vascular papular lesions that serve as cutaneous signs of systemic disease, from hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia HHT to the angiokeratomas of Fabry disease. In addition, sublingual varices and lymphangiomas may appear at the same site. In this case, the characteristic dilated round veins with typical localization and the absence of other systemic signs and symptoms were consistent with caviar tongue.
