Foliate papillae appear as an area of vertical folds and grooves
Located on the posterior-lateral surface of the tongue.
They are occasionally Misdiagnosed as tumors or inflammatory disease.
They are usually bilaterally symmetrical.
Sometimes they appear small and inconspicuous, whereas they may be prominent.
Lingual tonsils are found immediately beneath the foliate papillae and, when hyperplastic, cause a prominence of the papillae.

If there is no treatment required, why prognosis is good? What is the cause of making them hyperplastic?
