Choristoma is a growth of normal tissue that occurs at an abnormal region. In the oral cavity, osseous choristoma that has a normal bone feature mainly has been appeared. It is mainly occurred on the tongue. So, It can be found in dental practice or in discomfort in the mouth. Osseous choristoma in the oral cavity is extremely rare. But It can be treated excisional biopsy under local anesthesia. The prognosis is very good. This case is a report of osseous choristoma on the dorsal surface of the tongue. A 17-year-old female patient presented with a foreign body sensation of the tongue. A diameter of the mass is 0.7cm, and there is no pain. Panoramic radiographs showed a radiopaque image in the form of a double image. An excisional biopsy was performed and diagnosed as an osseous choristoma. 12 months after the resection, there were no signs of recurrence. Intraoral osseous choristoma is very rare, but it is clinically very simple and can be found in dental radiographs. We present this case because of Dentists who examine the oral cavity of the patient can easily diagnose the lesion and treat it by simple resection.
