Introduction And Importance: Lingual osteoma is a rare benign osteogenic tongue tumor. Osteomas usually arise from craniofacial bones and are rare in the intraoral region.
Case Presentation: The tongue mass of a 20-year-old Persian woman with a history of several years of lump sensation was removed, and the histological examination confirmed the diagnosis of osteoma.
Clinical Discussion: Most lesions are 0.5 to 2 cm in diameter, pedunculated, and unilateral and are mostly located at the posterior third of the dorsal tongue near the foramen cecum. Histological examination of the osteoma revealed well-circumscribed lesions composed of benign mature bone with haversian-like canals, which was surrounded by a thin fibrous capsule.
Conclusions: Although lingual osteoma is a rare tumor of the tongue area, it should be considered in patients with difficulty swallowing, especially those with lump sensation.
