Abstract
Heterotopic neuroglial condition is a rare congenital anomaly in children. Most of the reported cases have been located in nose. To date, there was no recorded case of heterotopic neuroglial tissue in hard palate without any other congenital anomaly. The purpose of this report is to present a rare case of heterotopic neuroglial tissue in hard palate to add to literature we reviewed.
