Pigmentation of fungiform papillae (PFP) is considered a physiological condition, although the pathogenesis remains unclear. PPF is relatively common in African or Asian patients. However, this condition does not usually appear reflected in principal dermatology’s textbooks. When the entity is known, its diagnosis is simple and exclusively clinical.

Keywords : Pigmentation of fungiform papillae; Dermoscopy; Laugier-Hunziker syndrome.
