We hereby present the first-reported pediatric case of a hard palate neurovascular hamartoma in a male newborn, in which the diagnosis was established following an initial nondiagnostic biopsy, extensive radiological investigations, and eventual wide local excision. These benign lesions can easily be mistaken for malignant diagnoses, leading to increased parental and child anxiety as well as avoidable diagnostic and therapeutic interventions.
我们在此呈现首例男性新生儿硬腭神经血管错构瘤的儿科病例，该病例在初次非诊断性活检、广泛的影像学检查和最终广泛局部切除后确诊。这些良性病变很容易被误诊为恶性诊断，导致父母和孩子过度焦虑以及可避免的诊断和治疗干预。
