ABSTRACT
Osteoma of the tongue is a rare entity of unknown origin. Clinically, the majority of the osteoma are described as growth of pedunculated mass on the posterior dorsum of the tongue without symptoms. The mechanism for its formation is unknown, but various theories have been proposed. Surgery is an appropriate treatment and no recurrence after surgery has been reported. We experienced a 68 year old man with undiagnosed osteoma of the tongue, incidentally detected during gastroscopy. We report this case with a review of literature.
