“…15 Al Omran et al reported a case of painless right facial swelling in a five-year-old girl since two months which upon investigating revealed a well-defined ovoid mass within the superficial portion of the parotid gland in CECT which after excision was diagnosed as a vascular hamartoma. 16 For our patient, ultrasound and Doppler were done, which revealed a capillary hemangioma in the intramuscular compartment, and thus we didn't do an FNAC in view of its vascularity. So we started her on medical therapy with oral propranolol for three months.…”

<p class="abstract">Hamartomas are non-neoplastic, tumor-like masses characterized by irregular overgrowth in tissues of its origin, resulting from inborn errors that occur during embryonic development and are present from birth. They may develop from any of the three germinal layers of which mesodermal-derived overgrowth is the most common. Hamartomas may be seen anywhere in the body and most often arises from lung, liver, spleen, kidney, gastrointestinal tract, and rarely in the head and neck region. A 23-year-old lady presented with a painless left cheek swelling for three months. On clinical examination, she had a single, firm and ill-defined swelling of size 2×1cms in left cheek. Ultrasound examination showed an ill-defined hypoechoic lesion measuring 2.1×0.8 cms in the intramuscular compartment of left cheek with few cystic areas. On colour doppler there was minimal peripheral vascularity and flow signal suggesting capillary hemangioma. In view of the tumor’s vascularity, Fine needle aspiration cytology wasn’t performed and she was treated conservatively on oral propranolol. But since no significant response was noted, excision biopsy was done under general anesthesia. The histopathology features were consistent with mesenchymal hamartoma. Post-operative period was uneventful, and she was in regular follow up with no recurrence.</p>

Hamartomas and choristomas are malformations that often manifest at birth, usually seen as a discrete, localized mass or as multiple masses that resemble a neoplasm, but not a true neoplasm with the exception in choristomas that the cells and tissues are not normally found at that location. Clear etiology and pathogenesis are not found. In addition, the distinguishing features of these masses are not certain. It is essential to differentiate between hamartomas, choristomas, and other oral cavity masses in order to provide proper management. In this study, a new perspective is provided for hamartomas and choristomas of the oral cavity.
