Introduction: AIDS is a fatal disease that impairs the immunity, increasing the risk of developing opportunistic infections.
Case report: We present a case of a 47-year-old patient from the ER, with bleeding from a tongue tumor. The patient reported that he had lost 25 kg in about six months and complained of swallowing disorders. HIV infection was confirmed in the patient during the diagnosis. The inflammatory tumor of the tongue was the only manifestation of HIV infection.
