PY - 2019 T2 - The Color Atlas and Synopsis of Family Medicine, 3e AB - An elderly woman is in the office for a physical examination. While looking in her mouth, you see a torus at the midline on the hard palate (Figure 35-1). She states that she has had this for her whole adult life and it does not bother her. You explain to her that it is a torus palatinus and that nothing needs to be done. She is pleased to know the name of this lump and even happier to know that it is not harmful.
