What is Understanding Black Hairy Tongue about?

A 71-year-old man presented with an asymptomatic black discoloration of his tongue. Physical examination showed an elongation of the filiform papillae on the dorsal surface of the tongue, but no other abnormalities. The most likely diagnosis was black hairy tongue, a benign disorder caused by defective desquamation and reactive hypertrophy of the filiform papillae. Treatment with improved oral hygiene resolved the discoloration within 4 weeks.
