An osteoma is a benign growth of the bone. However, an extraosseous osteoma in the tongue is rare. Less than 70 cases have been reported in the English literature. It occurs most commonly in females in the third and fourth decades of life. We had two patients, a 22-year-old man and a 25-year-old man, who suffered from a foreign body sensation in the throat for several months. Physical examination revealed a protruding mass at the posterior part of the tongue. After excisional biopsy, the histoPathological reports revealed that both were lingual osteomas. The patients symptoms resolved after surgery. No recurrence has been found after 6 months.
