“…The diagnosis of "osteoma" were excluded from the review. Our review revealed 77 lingual osseous choristoma cases reported between 1971 -2017 ( in the trauma site give rise to the lesion [7]. In our case, the lesion consisted of mature bone tissue with fully developed Haversian system and not just calcification.…”

Introductıon: Osseous choristoma is a benign lesion that is characterized by proliferation of mature osseous tissue in an abnormal anatomical location. The lesion, which was first described by Monserrat in 1913 as “lingual osteoma” has been called “osseous choristoma” since 1971. Here, we present a rare case of osseous choristoma located on the tongue and a review of the literature.Case Report: A 26 year-old male patient was referred to the Department of ENT with the complaint of swelling of the tongue. Physical examination showed a nodular, sessile lesion on the base of the tongue and the lesion was removed. Histopathological examination of the material revealed a well-defined, submucosal lesion consisting of mature bone tissue and was reported as “osseous choristoma”.Conclusıon: Osseous choristoma is a benign lesion that occurs mostly in women in their second or third decades of life, although it can be seen in a wide age range. Osseous choristoma may occur in different locations of the oral cavity and maxillofacial region such as the tongue, buccal mucosa, alveolar mucosa, submandibular region, submental region, masseter muscle and palate. This rare entity should be kept in mind because it may be confused with other benign lesions of the tongue like hemangioma, lymphangioma, hamartoma and malignant tumors.

“…Lingual osseous choristoma is mostly (71%) located beside the foramen caecum and circumvallate papilla in the posterior 1/3 of the tongue. Less frequently, it is located in the lateral edge of the tongue and in the middle 1/3 of the tongue (at rates of 17% and 6%, respectively) (3,4). In 1931, Liu and Tan (7) published a case of bilateral osseous choristoma located on both sides of the foramen cecum.…”

“…Lingual osseous choristoma is seen in the age range of 5 to 73 years, particularly between the ages of 20 to 50, and the mean age of patients is 28.7 years (3-6). The frequency of lingual osseous choristoma is 2.7-4 times higher among females than among males (3,(5)(6)(7). In our case, the patient was a 41-year-old female, which was consistent with the literature expectation.…”

“…Our case had the complaints of swelling sensation in the throat and globus pharyngeus. Some authors suggested that the symptoms were associated with the diameter and localization of the lesion (3,5). On the other hand, Supiyaphun et al (6) reported no relationship between the size of osseous choristoma and symptoms.…”
