title: [Osseous choristoma in vitiligo].
abstract: This article deals with a typical case of both the conditions vitiligo and osseous choristoma of the intraoral soft tissue. Because of the close association between vitiligo and other diseases, it is very important to have each patient thoroughly examined with regard to thyroid diseases, pernicious anemia, diabetes mellitus, and autoimmune phenomena. We have detected a very rare tumescence of mature bony tissue, such as described in literature in only 25 cases, so far.
