“…Bone choristoma can occur at any age [ 3 ].In the oral cavity, bronchogenic cyst-type choristoma was also described in the tongue by A. Petraud et al in a 22-year-old adolescent [ 4 ]. An epidermal choristoma occurring on the midline of the gum as a congenital epulis was reported by IzumiYoshioka et al in a two (02) year old child [ 5 ].

Introduction Bone choristoma is a benign tumor with normal histology and ectopic location. This paper aims to report a rare case of bone choristoma in the maxillary gingival location. Observation The authors report a case of a 39-year-old woman, with a history of maxillary full edentulousness, who consulted for a slight pain evolved for about six months, triggered by movements on the lesion. Clinical examination found growth at the level of the right maxillary gingival alveolar ridge. Surgical biopsy was indicated and performed under local anesthesia. The histological examination of the excisional specimen concluded at a bone choristoma. The patient had a good evolution after the surgical removal. Conclusion Choristoma is a rare and benign condition. The management is surgical.

Epidermal choristoma is a rare, congenital lesion in which islands of ectopic skin are found within the oral cavity. They present as pigmented macules or papules on the tongue. Histologic appearances are characteristic and benign. We present three cases review the current literature and recommend observation of the lesion rather than complete excision should be considered as a reasonable management option.

“…The observation of areas of stratified epithelium along with cutaneous adnexal structures (hair follicles, sebaceous or sweat glands) is an exceedingly rare phenomenon. Azorin et al first described epidermal choristoma, and only four additional cases have been reported since . The reported patients were male, ages 1 month to 56 years; the most frequent clinical presentation was a brown‐ to black‐pigmented macule of variable size (3–11 mm) on the dorsum of the tongue.…”

We report the fifth case of epidermal choristoma of the oral cavity in a Caucasian newborn with a congenital melanotic macule on the dorsum of the tongue. Epidermal choristoma is an exceedingly rare and benign condition probably caused by a developmental abnormality. It is identified according to the presence of normal skin in an abnormal location. Histologically it is identified according to areas of stratified epithelium and hyperpigmentation of the basal layer along with cutaneous adnexal structures (hair follicles, sebaceous or sweat glands). The clinical presentation is variable, but most of the cases described presented with a congenital lingual pigmented macule. These lesions should be included within the differential diagnosis of congenital lingual macules and distinguished from other entities such as congenital lingual melanotic macules and melanocytic lesions. Surgical excision is the treatment of choice. Epidermal choristoma is a benign condition that probably is underdiagnosed because it is a new and rare entity, and dermatologists should be aware of it.
