“…Within the oral cavity, endogenous elements that might result in hamartomatous proliferations include smooth muscle (2, 3), vessels (4), nerves, lymphatics, skeletal muscle (5), fat (6), salivary tissue (7), and epithelium (8). Choristomatous elements in the oral cavity might include bone (9), cartilage (10), glial tissue (11, 12), and skin appendages (13).…”

“…It is exceedingly rare to find focal AVM within the substance of the tongue. However, distinguishing small AVM from various other soft tissue tumors and vascular anomalies of the tongue can be difficult 5–7 . Because of the progressive and destructive enlargement of AVMs along with their inherent surgical risks, accurate diagnoses of lingual AVMs is critical.…”

This study suggests that tongue AVM can occur within a spectrum of disease with different clinical presentations, radiographic findings, and histology among patients with focal versus advanced lesions. Inadequate treatment is thought to contribute to collateral flow and disease progression in advanced AVM, making further management difficult. However, focal tongue AVM may represent early lesions that are more amenable to surgical management.

“…Hamartoma is a benign tumor of excessive growth in which there is presence of normal tissue components of the affected organ, arranged in a disordered way. The vast majority of lingual hamartomas reported were among the pediatric population [3][4][5][6][7][8] with only a few in the adults, mainly in women [1,[9][10][11][12].…”

Background: Hamartomas are excessive growth of mature cells and tissues usually present in the affected organ with architectural derangement. Lingual hamartomas are uncommon.Methods: A 49-year-old woman presented a mass on the body of the tongue to the left, with mild dysphagia and dyslalia. She has lesions of localized scleroderma in the limbs for the past 36 years. The diagnosis of hamartoma was based on the histopathological study.Results: Despite the large size of the lesion and the minor impairment it caused a conservative management and only regular consultations were proposed due also to the fact the surgical approach could produce greater morbidity. Conclusions:The authors discuss the epidemiologic data and differential diagnosis of lingual hamartoma, as well as the related literature. To date, no cases of lingual hamartomas in patients with scleroderma have been reported.
