<strong>Introduction:</strong> Tongue papillomas are benign epithelial tumors of the tongue lining. It is a precancerous lesion of viral origin caused by the Human papilloma virus (HPV). <strong>Objective:</strong> To describe the clinical and histological manifestations of a particular type of oral papilloma. <strong>Observation:</strong> A young woman aged 28 years resident in Siguiri (Guinea), received in consultation for a painless mass on the tongue slow evolving for 6 months duration. There was no notion of mouth bleeding. She had no particular medical and surgical history and negative for retroviral test/HIV test. Examination of the oral cavity found a fungating mass in at Right or Left posterior third of the tongue, painful on contact, sessile and pedunculated and not bleeding on contact and of soft consistency. The excision of the tongue mass was performed under general anesthesia. Biopsy was taken and sent for HPE. The consequences were mild, allowing her to be released 3 days after surgery. Histological examination showed an acanthotic stratified para-keratinized squamous epithelium containing small parts of connective tissue and koilocytes containing connective tissue nuclei reminiscent of papilloma. There was no malignancy cell. <strong>Conclusion:</strong> The papilloma of the tongue is a benign proliferative lesion characterized by slow and painless growth. I would say early diagnosis and surgical excision should be done to avoid recurrence, contact bleeding and morbidity secondary to mass effect.
