Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Pediatric Pathology
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Laryngeal hamartoma (LH) is a rare benign neoplasm, distinct from its more common pulmonary counterpart.
  • This study focuses on the clinical and histopathological aspects of LH, particularly in the head and neck region.

Observation:

  • A case of LH in a 5-year-old child with a unique recurrent histological pattern is presented.
  • Literature review of 26 cases revealed a male predominance (65%) and occurrence in both children and adults.
  • Common symptoms include stridor and hoarseness, with supraglottic lesions being most frequent (69%).

Findings:

  • LH presents a diagnostic challenge, especially in pediatric populations.
  • The study identifies key clinical signs, age distribution, and common locations of laryngeal hamartomas.

  • A novel observation includes a change in histological subtype upon recurrence in the presented case.

    • Implications:

    • Laryngeal hamartoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of benign laryngeal lesions in children.
    • Complete surgical excision is the preferred treatment, with careful consideration to preserve laryngeal function.
    • The prognosis for patients with laryngeal hamartoma is generally excellent following appropriate management.
