Lingual osseous choristoma has rarely been reported. Various theories have been proposed to better understand this unique condition, including branchial arch remnants, ossification of remnant thyroid, and metaplastic osseous differentiations.1, 2, 3 Here, we report a case of lingual osseous choristoma in a 15-year-old asymptomatic patient successfully treated with surgical excision.
