No: Common occurrence. Check your parents and siblings -- likely that one or many have this as well. Nothing to worry about. If becomes a problem, it can be removed. Simply a benign bony growth.

Unclear etiology: The etiology of tori is unclear. Most tori are benign, but they can occasionally cause problems and removal is warranted.
