Tuberculosis is the most common infectious disease in the world and the lingual location represents less than 1% of extra-pulmonary forms. We report a case of primary lingual tuberculosis which was presented to us in the form of a cold abscess in a 46-year-old alcohol and tobacco drinker weaned for 01 years. Confirmation was histological after biopsy of the lesion. Treatment with anti-tuberculosis drugs for 06 months resulted in a cure. Primary tuberculosis of the tongue is rare and can take several macroscopic forms, including cold abscess which is exceptional. A histological examination after biopsy will make the diagnosis.
