description Background: Both psoriasis and tongue surface changes like fissured and geographic tongue are sharing some common features like surface changes nature, inflammation process and linking to autoimmune. There is a chance for these conditions to occur simultaneously. Aim: This research aims to find prevalence of psoriasis, in patients diagnosed as to have fissured and/or geographic tongue, in outpatient clinics of college of dentistry/ Hawler Medical University. Patient and method: A retrospective-prospective study was conducted in the oral diagnosis department at the College of Dentistry at Hawler Medical University. The study included patients who visited the clinic from September 3, 2022, to March 3, 2024. All three pathologies were searched for in history, clinical examination and documented by both data entry and digital photography. Results: The total number of involved cases was 298. Out of which 158 (53%) are male and 140 (47%) are female. Out of all patients included, 219 (73.5%) presented with fissured tongue, 68 (22.8%) had geographic tongue, and 11 (3.7%) had both fissured and geographic tongue. Out of all cases, only 3 (1%) cases had psoriasis. Conclusion: This study demonstrated that the incidence of fissured tongue is higher in younger individuals, followed by geographic tongue. Additionally, a correlation between fissured and geographic tongue was observed. However, there was a weak or nonexistent association between both abnormalities and psoriasis.
