This report details a rare lingual osteoma case in a male patient. Surgical removal resolved mass effect symptoms, highlighting treatment for this unusual tongue tumor.

Area of Science:

  • Oral pathology
  • Surgical oncology
  • Head and neck surgery

Background:

  • Lingual osteomas are rare benign bone tumors typically found in the posterior tongue.
  • They predominantly affect women in their third and fourth decades, with fewer occurrences in men.

Observation:

  • An unusual case of a lingual osteoma occurred in a 42-year-old male patient, located near the foramen cecum.
  • The patient presented with symptoms related to mass effect from the tumor.

Findings:

  • Surgical excision of the lingual osteoma was performed under local anesthesia.
  • Histological examination revealed mature lamellar bone with haversian systems, confirming the diagnosis.
  • The patient experienced an uneventful postoperative recovery, with resolution of mass effect symptoms.

Implications:

  • This case contributes to understanding the clinical presentation and management of lingual osteomas, particularly in atypical demographics.
  • The report underscores the importance of surgical intervention for symptomatic lingual osteomas.
  • Further research into the controversial pathogenesis and nomenclature of lingual osteomas is warranted.
