Glial choristoma (GC) is a rare developmental malformation commonly occur in nasal cavity and infrequently present at other sites like palate, tongue, pharynx, lips, and submandibular region. It usually occurs in the children either as an incidental finding or mass lesion or in association with cleft palate. GC is diagnosed by the demonstration of glial tissue on histopathology. A conservative excision is usually curative, however, misdiagnosis can leads to unnecessary surgical procedure. Herein, we report a unique case of GC in a middle aged lady, with recent history of multiple teeth extraction with associated osteomyelitis.
