A quantitative, semiautomatic analysis of histologic features of the specific inflammatory changes occurring on the dorsum of human tongue was made for 37 tongues. Well-documented histologic differences between clinically normal appearing tongue (control), atrophic, geographic and fissured tongue were shown quantitatively. The epithelium of atrophic tongue was thinner compared to the controls. Reduction of the thickness was due to the shortened or totally missing rete pegs. Epithelium of geographic and fissured tongue showed irregular rete pegs. In fissured tongue heavy inflammation seemed to shorten the rete pegs. In atrophic tongue the connective tissue was thicker compared to the controls. This could be due to mild, chronic inflammation causing loose connective tissue described in atrophic tongue. Muscle cells of geographic tongue appeared to be as in the controls, whereas in atrophic and fissured tongue the uppermost muscle cells were small and separated compared to the controls.
对37例人类舌背部发生的特定炎症变化的组织学特征进行了定量、半自动分析。定量显示了临床外观正常的舌（对照）、萎缩性舌、地图舌和裂纹舌之间有充分记录的组织学差异。与对照组相比，萎缩性舌的上皮更薄。厚度的减少是由于钉突缩短或完全缺失。地图舌和裂纹舌的上皮显示钉突不规则。在裂纹舌中，严重的炎症似乎使钉突缩短。与对照组相比，萎缩性舌的结缔组织更厚。这可能是由于萎缩性舌中描述的轻度慢性炎症导致结缔组织疏松。地图舌的肌肉细胞似乎与对照组一样，而与对照组相比，萎缩性舌和裂纹舌最上层的肌肉细胞较小且分离。
