Lingual leiomyomatous hamartomas are rare lesions of the tongue with largely unknown mechanisms of formation. These lesions are often asymptomatic, though they may present with symptoms, particularly relating to swallow function. Workup should include imaging of the head and neck, and diagnosis should be made histologically. Treatment is surgical excision. This case is a report of a 4-week-old female who presented for evaluation of an asymptomatic 1 × 1 cm dorsal midline tongue mass discovered at birth. The patient was monitored until the age of 9 months, at which time the mass was surgically excised. The patient had an uncomplicated postoperative course. Pathological analysis yielded a diagnosis of leiomyomatous hamartoma.

Article Synopsis
- Oral leiomyomatous hamartoma (OLH) is a benign overgrowth of smooth muscle tissue that can occur in various locations in the oral cavity.
- The systematic review analyzed 55 studies involving 66 subjects, revealing that OLH lesions typically presented firm consistency, average size of 1.20 cm, and were often found on the tongue or maxilla, with surgical excision being the primary treatment method.
- Despite its rarity, OLH is important for differential diagnosis in young patients with oral lesions, given its distinct clinicopathological features identified in the reviewed literature.
