Abstract
Verruca vulgaris is a benign infection caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). The lesions appear primarily on the cutaneous surfaces; however, mucosal involvement is less frequent. The typical presentation is asymptomatic papules varying in size and number. The differential diagnosis includes a diverse list of benign and malignant conditions. Herein, we present a 65-year-old male patient with an asymptomatic cauliflower-like mass on the tongue incidentally observed during internal medicine physical examination. The excisional biopsy revealed verruca vulgaris, and no new lesions were detected in the follow-up.
