Abstract :
Osseous choristoma is a rare, benign lesion of the oral cavity. This report presents a case of osseous
choristoma in the submental region of a 30‑year‑old female subject. Her chief complaint was a
painless swelling in the submental region. Panoramic radiography showed a well‑defined, round,
radiopaque lesion near the inferior border of the left mental region. The lesion was diagnosed as an
osseous choristoma based on the histopathological examination of the surgical specimen. This paper
is an attempt to bring forward a unique occurrence of osseous choristoma, which would further
help the medical fraternity in improvising their knowledge, diagnosis, and treatment of this entity.
