A retrospective study of ten patients with median rhomboid glossitis (MRG) revealed the presence of a nonspecific inflammatory reaction of varying degrees of severity in the overlying palatal mucosa. Clinical records and photographs indicated that the palatal reactions physically approximated the underlying glossal lesions, suggesting a relationship between these entities. The nature of the relationship is uncertain, but it may involve a localized infection of the palatal mucosa by Candida species, from the MRG. Alternatively, irritation by soluble, possibly Candida-related factors from the MRG that are applied repeatedly to the palatal mucosa during swallowing may be responsible.
一项对10例正中菱形舌炎（MRG）患者的回顾性研究显示，其上方的腭黏膜存在不同严重程度的非特异性炎症反应。临床记录和照片表明，腭部反应在形态上与下方的舌部病变相近，提示这些病变之间存在关联。这种关联的性质尚不确定，但可能涉及念珠菌属从MRG局部感染腭黏膜。或者，吞咽过程中MRG产生的可溶性、可能与念珠菌相关的因子反复作用于腭黏膜，也可能是病因。
