Abstract

Intramuscular vascular lesions in the tongue are rare and are usually the capillary form of haemangioma. A case is described of a lingual mass that resembled intramuscular haemangioma but had unique histological features that do not appear to have been described previously. The term intramuscular capillary hamartoma is suggested to describe it.
