Parenchymatous glossitis: A case report.

Key Clinical Message: We present a case of parenchymatous glossitis with unilateral severe inflammation of the hyoglossus muscle, resulting in laryngeal edema. The route of inflammation was unique. Contrast‐enhanced CT was useful for diagnosis. Administration of sensitive antibiotics led to improvement. Creatine phosphokinase may be an indicator of diagnosis and treatment response.
