Palatal tori: It may be palatal tori, which is a normal overgrowth of bone on the roof of your mouth.

As far as the swelling on hard palate, that will also be  examined.

Torus palatinus?: It's possible that this is a torus palatinus, however they are usually midline and can grow  very slowly.   If it starts to cause you pain or it continues to grow you should have a physician looks at it.

Scar tissue?: Have the doctor who excised it evaluate, but it may just be scar tissue around the wound.

Question 9

hard bony lump on left side of hard palate in back. sometimes sensitive but usually painless. noticed it 1 year ago, hasn't done much, but grew 1-2mm.?

Accepted Answer

Abnormal: This bony mass needs to be evaluated by an ent. Anything that has increased in size needs to be checked and anything that is asymmetric, or only on one side, needs to be checked.

Question 10

does anyone else get lumps on the hard palate of the mouth?

Accepted Answer

Are you a smoker?: When i hear about itchy bumps on the roof of the mouth, occurring over a long period of time, i think of a condition seen in smokers.  This causes a cobblestoned surface to the roof of the mouth and results from irritation from the tobacco smoke.  It should be evaluated by a dermatologist who is familiar with oral diseases to make sure it isn't something more serious.
