A common bony protrusion that occurs over the hard palate is sometimes mistaken for a malignancy especially when it is large. This bony growth is a torus palatinus (TP), which is a benign bony prominence over the hard palate. It occurs most commonly in bilateral multiple form, and is often located at the canine to premolar area. A basic knowledge of the assessment and management of TP is important, particularly for the first-line family physician to ensure that the correct information is given to the patient.
硬腭上出现的一种常见骨质突出有时会被误诊为恶性肿瘤,尤其是当其体积较大时。这种骨质增生是腭隆突(TP),它是硬腭上的一种良性骨质隆起。它最常以双侧多发的形式出现,且常位于尖牙至前磨牙区域。了解腭隆突的评估和处理的基本知识很重要,特别是对于一线家庭医生而言,以确保能向患者提供正确信息。
