Lingual Osteoma

Abstract

Lingual osteoma is a rare condition, with fewer than 100 cases reported. Because of its rarity, we present an additional case of lingual osteoma that occurred in a 22-year-old woman. This is the first case report, to our knowledge, of a lingual osteoma with preoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings described. The epidemiology, clinical presentation, and underlying pathogenesis of this condition are also discussed.
