Case Discussion
Tori palatini (singular: torus palatinus) are benign osseous outgrowths from the hard palate (specifically from the inferior aspect of the palatine processes of the maxilla), and are a subtype of maxillary tori.
In most cases these are bilateral and asymptomatic, however in rare symptomatic cases resection might be necessary.
