C. Torus maxillaris
Torus maxillaris (TMAX ) had developed in 3 patients, one man
and 2 women. These tori appeared bilaterally as prominent and lobulated
masses arising from the medial aspects of the upper jaw. In contrast to
TM, these were located more posteriorly along the molar regions. These
tori were very firm on palpation and consisted of marked cortical
hyperostosis on CT sections. One patient also had a coexisting TP as
illustrated by CT and intraoral images (Figure 5).
