| Popis: | We present an unusual case of a lingual leiomyomatous hamartoma, along with a current literature review of this previously under reported lesion. Described is a case of a 5 month-old male presenting with a posterior midline tongue mass and surgical excision yielded pathology consistent with a leiomyomatous hamartoma. A comprehensive literature review revealed thirty-nine cases of leiomyomatous hamartomas, a number much greater than previously reported. We conclude that these rare lesions are notably twice as common as previously reported and have equal gender predilection. |
