Usually as u know, it doesnt require treatment.....May be if starts causing symptoms (mechanical obstruction), surgery is needed.....just my opinion. Do tell the right answer??

itīs a painless, slowing growing fleshy, bony mass in the hard palate. Peak age is at 30 y. Itīs benign. It only needs reassurance as a tx, usually.
