RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Accessory tongue (AT) is a rare congenital anomaly. Due to rarity of AT, various terminologies are applied, including accessory tongue, bifid tongue, double tongue, cleft tongue, and supernumerary tongue. It seems that the anomaly has geographic distribution and most reported cases are from India and Middle East. No comprehensive classification has been introduced yet. So, we present a classification for AT according to review of all papers and documents that we found, and report a 2-month-old male infant with this anomaly.
