    Author: Grillo E, Boixeda P, Ballester A, Vano-Galvan S, Gonzalez C, Jaén P.
    Journal: Pediatr Dermatol; 2013; 30(6):e250-1. PubMed ID: 22938621.
    Abstract:
    A congenital smooth muscle hamartoma is a rare, benign proliferation of smooth muscle bundles in the dermis that is usually diagnosed in the neonatal period or infancy. Surgical excision is the first-line therapeutic option, but in certain areas such as the face, surgery may be too aggressive, and different treatments should be considered. We present the case of a congenital smooth muscle hamartoma on the face treated using pulsed dye laser with good response.
