Abstrakt: Hamartomas, a focal excess of normal tissue usually presenting as isolated masses, are rarely found in the head and neck region. The purpose of this report is to discuss a rare case of an intra-oral angioleiomyomatous hamartoma in a 14-year-old male who presented with a congenital nodule over the anterior palatal mucosa. The confirmatory diagnosis was done based on histopathology and immunohistochemistry using various markers. A brief review of the literature and clinical differential diagnoses are discussed, along with the clinical significance of hamartomas associated with syndromes. Hence, the identification of such hamartomas may lead to early diagnosis of associated syndromes in pediatric patients.
