Lingual hamartoma in an infant: CT and MR imaging

AJNR Am J Neuroradiol. 2007 Jan;28(1):30-1.

Abstract

Lingual hamartoma is a rare tongue mass, primarily diagnosed in childhood. In most cases in the literature, the masses were surgically removed without preoperative imaging. There are only 3 cases reported in the clinical literature that describe preoperative imaging findings. We report the clinical and imaging findings in an infant with lingual hamartoma and review the literature.
