It is mainly occurred on the tongue. So, It can be found in dental practice or in discomfort in the mouth. Osseous choristoma in the oral cavity is extremely rare. But It can be treated excisional biopsy under local anesthesia. The prognosis is very good. This case is a report of osseous choristoma on the dorsal surface of the tongue. A 17-year-old female patient presented with a foreign body sensation of the tongue. A diameter of the mass is 0.7cm, and there is no pain. Panoramic radiographs showed a radiopaque image in the form of a double image. An excisional biopsy was performed and diagnosed as an osseous choristoma. 12 months after the resection, there were no signs of recurrence. Intraoral osseous choristoma is very rare, but it is clinically very simple and can be found in dental radiographs.
