Caviar tongue is a condition characterized by purplish venous ectasias commonly found on the ventral (undersurface) of the tongue after the age of fifty.[1]: 803 It is normal for there to be veins visible underneath the tongue, partly because the mucous membrane is so thin and translucent in this region, but where these vessels become dilated and tortuous, they may appear round and black like caviar.[2]
Small purplish or blue-black round swellings may appear under the tongue with age. They are dilatations of the lingual veins and have no clinical significance.
