Abstract
We experienced a case of a large torus palatinus (TP) in a 59-year-old Japanese woman, her chief complaint being that of speech interference. The lesion consisted of three pieces of nodular hard masses. The largest nodule was 34.5mm in max diameter.Histopathologically, the lesion contained an exophytic over growth of cortical and/or a trabecular bone-like hard tissue with adipose marrow-like and fibrous tissues between the trabecular bone-like structures indicating hyperplastic features of the bone. After reviewing literatures, the larger and multinodular case was not so many, therefore, the present case was rare, and should be removed if it interferes exceedingly with speech.
