  • Title: Leiomyomatous hamartoma of the incisive papilla.
    Author: Corrêa L, Lotufo M, Martins MT, Sugaya N, de Sousa SC.
    Journal: J Clin Pediatr Dent; 2001; 25(2):157-9. PubMed ID: 11314216.
    Abstract:
    A case of unusual hamartoma in a six-year-old otherwise healthy Brazilian girl is reported, with emphasis on histological and immunohistochemical features. A mass observed in the incisive papilla was detected whose appearance was similar to congenital epulis or fibroma. Histological findings showed interlacing fascicles of large spindle cells resembling smooth muscle cells. Immunohistochemical staining for desmin and for smooth-muscle actin was positive. The histological diagnosis was leiomyomatous hamartoma, based on clinical and microscopic observations.
