A case of a 62-year-old man with a tuberculous ulcer of the tongue was reported and discussed with some bibliographical considerations. A patient, with a painful and 1.4×1.0cm sized ulcer occurred at the tip of the tongue, had been treated as acute stomatitis for several months prior to visiting our clinic. Chief complaints were such as pains, difficulties of swallowing and speech disorders. Chest X-ray revealed moderately advanced tuberculosis of both lungs with cavity. Accordingly it was assumed that an ulcer of the tongue was due to secondary surface infections from the lung. Diagnosis was confirmed in the histological examination of the biopsy specimen. After admission, the patient received a concentrated anti-tuberculous chemotherapy for about three months in our clinic and an ulcer of the tongue healed resulting in the scar.
