Hamartoma of the tongue in an infant with a primary diagnosis of ectrodactyly-ectodermal dysplasia-cleft lip and palate syndrome.
We describe a case of an unusual tongue hamartoma associated with ectrodactyly-ectodermal dysplasia-clefting syndrome in a 3-month-old white female infant. The lesion was composed of a mixture of salivary glands, adipose tissue, smooth muscle and skeletal muscle in a haphazard fashion. Lingual hamartomas are rare and can present a clinical differential diagnostic problem. We review the literature on this unique combination of malformations.
