Neurovascular hamartoma of the tongue: Case report and current concepts

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Neurovascular hamartoma (NVH) is a hamartomatous proliferation of neural, perineural, and vascular tissue, typically solitary, superficial, or deep. While odontomas are the most common hamartomas in the head and neck region, NVH is a rare pathology in the oral cavity. Due to its histological components and anatomical location, it presents a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. We report a case of multiple asymptomatic soft nodules on the dorsal tongue diagnosed as multinodular NVH. Surgical excision and sclerosing therapy were performed. The aim is to present a low-frequency case and discuss current concepts for its diagnosis and treatment.
