Hamartoma of the tongue.
Hamartomas of the tongue are rare. A case of a 6-year-old girl with hamartoma at the base of the tongue is reported. The diagnosis was confirmed by a histopathologic examination of the mass after removal in a wedge fashion by the CO2 laser under general anesthesia. The literature is reviewed and discussed.
