“…The distinction between cartilaginous choristomas and malignant cartilaginous neoplasms is fundamental. In the case described, the chondrocytes showed small nuclei and were dispersed in mature hyaline matrix, without binucleation or any appearance of malignancy such as nuclear pleomorphism, hyperchromatism, atypical mitoses, prominent nucleoli or increased nuclear/cytoplasmic ratio 4 .…”

Cartilaginous choristoma of the tongue

Choristomas are lesions composed of normal cells or tissues occurring in an abnormal location. Cartilaginous choristomas of the oral mucosa are rare and occur preferentially on the tongue and less often in sites such as the soft palate and gingiva. Oral lesions are generally covered by integral mucosa and can occur at any age. The present study describes a case of a 73-year-old female presenting with an asymptomatic cartilaginous choristoma on the ventral surface of the tongue which had developed over a period of 3 years. The clinical presentation and management of the case are discussed and the literature is reviewed. This is the 28th reported case of a cartilaginous choristoma of the tongue and the third with a ventral localisation.

“…Cartilaginous choristomas in the palate [3], buccal mucosa [4], gingival [5], oral vestibule [6], lower lip [7], and tongue including dorsum [2,8], ventral surface [9], lateral margin [8] are reported. In a review of cartilaginous choristoma, the age at diagnosis ranges widely from 10 to 80 years, with a mean of 47 years.…”

“…A choristoma is defined as a tumour-like mass of normal cells or tissue that develops in an abnormal location 1 . These lesions may be composed of different types of tissues whose only similarity is their close association in fetal development, and are designated according to the tissues from which they derive (e.g.…”

“…Osseous choristoma is an uncommon alteration of the soft tissues in the oral cavity. Clinically, these lesions were described as a hard mass, either pedunculated or sessile and the most frequent topographical region is the posterior third of the tongue 1,4 . Other locations for this lesion to arise are extremely rare 5 .…”

Abstract:The term choristoma describes a hamartomatous tumor-like lesion composed of normal tissue in an abnormal location and are designated according to the tissues from which they are derived. Typically, osseous choristomas of the oral cavity present as slow growing masses in the tongue, and rare cases are reported in the buccal mucosa and in the alveolar ridge. To our knowledge, few cases of gingival osseous choristoma have been reported, and the clinical differential diagnoses are very important for the practitioners. This report presents a rare location of a choristoma which by the clinical appearance and microscopic findings was shown to be an osseous choristoma presented in alveolar mucosa.
