“Torus palatinus is an exostosis, or benign bony overgrowth. It is usually located on the midline of the hard palate, and occurs in 12%–27% of the population. Since these are usually not symptomatic many people are not even aware of their presence.
Torus palatinus is easily diagnosed from the history and physical examination. Imaging studies are usually unnecessary. These growths typically enlarge gradually throughout life but have no potential for malignant transformation.”
