Background:

  • Benign migratory hemichannel hyperplasia (MH) is a rare condition affecting the head and neck.
  • Understanding its etiology and clinical presentation is essential for accurate diagnosis.

Observation:

  • This study reviews the known causes and symptoms of benign MH.
  • Three illustrative cases are presented to highlight variations in clinical appearance and etiology.
  • The diagnostic challenges in differentiating benign MH from other pathologies are emphasized.

Findings:

  • Benign MH presents with a characteristic clinical appearance, though variations exist.
  • The etiology of benign MH can be diverse, requiring careful consideration.
  • A thorough patient history and comprehensive clinical examination are paramount for diagnosis.
