Background:

Mandibular bony exostoses are benign, slow-growing outgrowths on the mandible's buccal or lingual surfaces.
While common in the maxilla (palatal exostoses) and midline palate (torus palatinus), they can also occur as mandibular tori in the canine/premolar regions.
These non-neoplastic lesions develop gradually over several years.

Observation:

The study presents a rare case of mandibular bony exostoses.
The exostoses were located on the lingual surface of the mandible.
The affected individual was a 70-year-old edentulous male.

Findings:

The case demonstrates an unusual presentation of mandibular bony exostoses.
The location on the lingual aspect of the mandible is infrequent.
The patient was edentulous, suggesting potential factors influencing development or presentation.

Implications:

Understanding the varied presentations of mandibular exostoses is crucial for accurate diagnosis.
This case expands the known anatomical distribution of these benign bony growths.
Further research may elucidate specific etiologies or risk factors for lingual mandibular exostoses, particularly in edentulous individuals.
