Abstract

Hamartoma designates an excessive focal overgrowth of mature normal cells and tissues in an organ or tissue composed of identical cellular elements. Two cases of hamartoma at the back of the tongue are reported. Histologically they comprised fibrous tissue, fat, salivary gland lobules, and smooth muscle. The literature is reviewed and discussed.
