Glossodynia, or burning mouth syndrome (BMS), is a chronic pain condition characterized by intraoral burning sensation in the absence of identifiable clinical or laboratory abnormalities. Herein, we report a 64-year-old female patient who presented to dermatology with a six-month history of BMS. Dermatologic examination and extensive laboratory work-up were unremarkable, and a diagnosis of primary glossodynia was made. This case illustrates the value of an integrated dermatology-psychiatry approach within a psychosomatic framework.
