A member asked:

My 11 year old son has a bony nodule at the tip of chin noticed few days back.can taurus occur in genial region of mandible. no other symptoms?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unlikely: Tori generally occur on the midline of the palate or the lingual border on the body of the mandible. The best path to follow now is to take a sub mental x-ray of the area odor a cat scan to further per evaluate this area. Diagnosis before treatment.
