Area of Science:

  • Oral pathology
  • Histopathology
  • Surgical oncology

Background:

  • Osseous choristoma is a rare benign tumor characterized by the presence of normal bone tissue in an abnormal anatomical location.
  • These lesions can occur in various sites, with the tongue being an uncommon but documented location.
  • Understanding the histopathological features and clinical presentation is crucial for accurate diagnosis and management.

Observation:

  • This article presents a case report of a patient with a lingual osseous choristoma.
  • The case details the clinical presentation, diagnostic process, and surgical management of the lesion.
  • Intraoperative findings and postoperative outcomes are described.

Findings:

  • Histopathological examination confirmed the presence of mature lamellar bone, consistent with osseous choristoma.
  • The literature review indicates that lingual osseous choristomas are rare, with limited documented cases.
  • Differential diagnosis includes other benign and malignant oral tumors.

Implications:

  • This case contributes to the limited understanding of lingual osseous choristomas.
  • Accurate diagnosis and complete surgical excision are essential for preventing recurrence and potential complications.
  • Further research into the etiology and optimal management of osseous choristomas in unusual locations is warranted.
