Objective: To report an excisional biopsy of a peripheral osteoma in the right hard palate in a non-syndromic young female patient. Case Report: A 32-year-old female patient, black, and normosystemic sought assistance in the stomatological diagnosis outpatient clinic of the School of Dentistry of the Federal University of Uberlândia, Brazil, complaining about the appearance of a lesion in the palate region. After clinical and imaging assessment, it was decided to perform an excisional biopsy under local anesthesia of the lesion. Three diagnostic hypotheses were raised - peripheral osteoma, exostosis, or osteosarcoma. The material collected was sent for histopathological analysis, which confirmed the hypothesis of peripheral osteoma. Final considerations: Peripheral osteomas in the hard palate region are very rare. This lesion is usually asymptomatic, except when there is a slow-growing chewing impact during mastication, which may develop in cortical or spinal bone. Surgical removal is the treatment of choice and the rate of recurrence is rare. The case emphasizes the rare condition, considering only six similar cases were found in the literature.
