Sometimes it can be found in an unusual localization and is then called heterotopic. OBSERVATION: A 30-year-old man presented with a hair in the middle of the dorsum of the tongue. It was decided to perform an excision under local anesthesia. DISCUSSION: Few reports exist that describe hair growing on mucosa. Only one other case has been published concerning the tongue.
