Hamartomas of the tongue in children are rare. We report herein on a 3-year-old Japanese boy with a hamartoma presenting with a pink smooth surface at the middle (15×7×7 mm) and lateral edge (20×30×15 mm) of the tongue.The tumor was apparent from birth and had increased in size as the patient grew. He felt uncomfortable when he chewed food. There was no family history of tongue tumors. There were no abnormal findings in the mouth, nose, ear, head, neck and cervical lymph nodes and the laboratory data were normal. The tumors were resected with a safe margin of 3 mm under general anesthesia. The tumor had not invaded the tongue muscle. The pathological diagnosis was hamartomatous tissue with bundles of smooth muscle fiber. The remnant tongue has been operating well for 1 year after the surgical treatment, and the tumor has shown no evidence of recurrence.
