Brief Answer:
palatal XXXXXXX
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for reply.
After seeing the image it appears to be tiny palatal XXXXXXX That means they are very small bony structures which appears in the hard palate in late thirty.
you can simply keep a watch on them and please do not get worried about them.
They will attend their shape and then regress on their own in many cases.
In case you find any pain or sensitivity or interference in speech only then you can think of getting them removed surgically else not required.
They are self correcting in nature and they are not cancer.
Hope it helps.
Please let me know for further doubts.
Thanks.
Take care.
