Figure 1:
Blue discoloration of the tongue, predominantly on the left side, in a 45-year-old woman. The tongue changed from a normal pink colour (A) to a cyanotic purple (B), and then returned to a normal colour in a span of few minutes (see video, www.cmaj.ca/lookup/suppl/doi:10.1503/cmaj.140784/-/DC1). The photos and video are from different attacks, when the patient was exposed to cold weather. Radiation-related telangiectasia can be seen on the soft palate (A).
