Resumen
BLANCO, Camilo de Jesús y BLANCO, Andrés Fernando. Black hairy tongue associated with squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus. Rev. colomb. Gastroenterol. [online]. 2021, vol.36, suppl.1, pp.112-115. Epub 21-Feb-2022. ISSN 0120-9957. https://doi.org/10.22516/25007440.623.
Black hairy tongue (BHT) is a benign disorder characterized by dark coloration and hypertrophy with hyperkeratosis in filiform papillae on the surface of the tongue. Several intrinsic and extrinsic factors, including poor dental hygiene, smoking, drinking dark beverages, indiscriminate use of antibiotics, and some malignant diseases, have been proposed as potential causes. This is the case of a patient with advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the mid esophagus in conjunction with BHT, a previously unknown association.
