Key Clinical MessageOsseous choristoma is a rare entity, mainly found on the posterior tongue. It is described as a nodular or exophytic lesion with firm to hard consistency. Clinicians should consider osseous choristoma when confronting lesions with the same features.AbstractOsseous choristoma is an unusual growth of ectopic bone in the soft tissue. This lesion is extremely rare, with a few cases reported in the literature, and they typically appear in the head and neck region, particularly the posterior tongue. The current report presents a case of osseous choristoma in the palate of a 51‐year‐old female. The patient had slight discomfort, which was resolved after surgical excision of the lesion, and no recurrence was observed. This research presents an instance of osseous choristoma in a less common location and concurrently acts as a review of this rare condition.
