Abstract
Case 1 involved a 56-year-old female who complained of abnormal oral sensations. Case 2 involved a 60-year-old male who experienced bleeding and pain from the palate and the alveolar bone of the left mandible. Both cases showed a bone-like hard mass in the hard palate. CT scan showed that these two lesions were considered to be torus palatinus. They were resected under general anesthesia, and the postoperative courses were uneventful. Histologically, these specimens showed lamellar bone with loose fibrosis. The pathological diagnosis of both cases was exostosis.
