“…Hamartomas of the oropharynx are rare tumour-like malformations composed of the tissues normally found at their sites of origin. They have been described in the larynx (Cohen, 1984;Lyons and Variend, 1988;Zapf etal, 1981;Archer et al, 1988;Weinberger et al, 1985), hypopharynx (Patterson et al, 1981;Wind and Lecluse, 1983;Binns, 1979), oropharynx (Vardhan andSardana, 1985, Gleeson andRosenfelder, 1984), nasopharynx (Zarbo and McClatchey 1983) and nasal cavities (Mahindra etal., 1978). Hamartomas can be classified as mesenchymal, when there is an overgrowth of connective tissue elements only, and mixed when there is epithelium in addition.…”
