Background: Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw bones have been frequently reported. However, its occurrence in torus palatinus is very rare with only 10 cases published in the English-language literature.
Case report: We describe an additional case in a 79-year-old woman, who was referred for evaluation of a painful swelling with areas of suppuration on the hard palate.
Conclusion: Conservative treatment was performed and after spontaneous sequestrectomy, total healing was achieved.
Keywords: medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw; osteonecrosis; torus palatinus.
