“…In the present case, the lesion showed an unusual presentation; besides mimicking a typical congenital haemangioma, it had predominantly an oral involvement, which is an exceedingly rare location, there being only 3 cases on the oral mucosa reported in the literature [2, 4, 5]. …”

Rhabdomyomatous hamartoma is a rare disease that occurs predominantly in the skin. This paper describes a congenital lesion in a 17-year-old male, who came to our clinic presenting a circumscribed swelling involving the oral mucosa and vermillion border of the upper lip, purplish in color, and blanching under pressure. The patient reported that he had had lesion since his birth. A clinical diagnosis was of congenital haemangioma, and the patient was treated by photocoagulation using diode laser. When the lesion became smaller, by having its blood content reduced, the upper portion of the lesion was sliced off with CO2 laser and the tissue was sent for microscopic analysis. Histopathological examination showed an oral mucosa fragment with proliferation of striated muscle bundles admixed with small blood vessels, collagen, and nerve fibres. A supplementary analysis with immunohistochemistry demonstrated positivity for desmin, HHF35, smooth muscle actin, S-100, and CD34. Based on these findings, the lesion was diagnosed as rhabdomyomatous hamartoma. The aesthetic result has been very satisfactory after a 14-month followup.

“…In most cases, the lesion is in the head and neck region. However, it may be found in other body parts and even in regions with no association with skin including the tongue and orbita (7,8). When we screened the literature, we found that no case of hamartoma arising from the hypopharyngeal region has been reported in our country and only a few cases have been reported in the world (5,9).…”

“…It can also be associated with congenital abnormalities such as Delleman’s syndrome. RMH very rarely presents intraorally on the tongue with isolated cases reported in the literature 1 2. Reoccurrence of RMH in the oral cavity is very rare.…”
