ANS: B
A Torus Palatinus Is Developmental And Bony Hard And Is Found On The Midline Of The Palate.
Diagnosis Is Made On The Basis Of Clinical Appearance. A Palatal Cyst Appears Radiolucent On A
Radiographic Examination And Is Not Diagnosed Through Clinical Appearance. A Mixed Tumor Or
Pleomorphic Adenoma Is A Benign Tumor Of Salivary Gland Origin, Found Unilaterally Off The Midline
Of The Hard Palate. It Is Composed Of Tumor Tissue That Is Not Bony Hard To Palpation.
