Oral cysticercosis is a rare disease caused by the ingestion of the parasite Cysticercus cellulosae. This parasitic infection rarely involves oral structures. We document the first case of oral cysticercosis mimicking benign tumor of the dorsum of the tongue in Bahrain in a 55-year-old patient, discuss its diagnosis and outline the management.
