Hamartomas is a neoplasms composed of mature tissue elements from the affected site with disproportion between their components. Although lingual hamartomas are traditionally infrequent in the head and neck, a significant number of case reports with this disorder in infancy are arising from the literature.
We present a remarkable case of a vallecular hamartoma in a 5-month-old infant. Moreover, the value of histopathological diagnosis was highlighted regarding the differentiation between hamartomas and other benign/reactive lesions.
Surgical excision is regarded as the treatment of choice for vallecular hamartomas; in addition, no recurrence has been reported after complete resection.
错构瘤是由受累部位的成熟组织成分组成的肿瘤,其各成分之间比例失调。虽然传统上舌错构瘤在头颈部并不常见,但文献中出现了大量关于婴儿期该疾病的病例报告。
我们展示了一例5个月大婴儿的会厌谷错构瘤的显著病例。此外,强调了组织病理学诊断在错构瘤与其他良性/反应性病变鉴别中的价值。
手术切除被认为是会厌谷错构瘤的首选治疗方法;此外,完全切除后未见复发报道。
