Hamartomatous Lesions Of The Oral Cavity

Hamartomas of the oral cavity are unique presentations of the head and neck region. They are excessive growth of mature cells and tissues usually present in the affected organ with architectural derangement. The distinguishing features of hamartomatous lesions are uncertain, and often these non neoplastic masses are indiscreetly denoted as neoplasms without weighing their pathology or biological behaviour. Hamartomas of the oral cavity and head and neck are poorly characterized and continues to be an intriguing spectrum with minimal clarity of pathogenesis. This book is an attempt to comprehensively review hamartomatous lesions and throw light on the unexplored areas of this spectrum of lesions.
