title: Lingual osseous choristoma: report of three cases.
abstract: Osseous choristoma represents the dense, mature, bony tissue in an abnormal location. We reported three cases of lingual osseous choristoma, herein, a year after the report of eight cases in 1998. All three lesions were at or close to the foramen caecum. The lesions were smooth, round or lobulated and pedunculated in shape and stony hard in consistency. All of them were preoperatively diagnosed, based on the above unique clinical findings without any radiography. The lesions were simply excised without local recurrence.
