RESUMO
INTRODUCTION: Oral leiomyomatous hamartoma (OLH) is a rare developmental tumor-like anomaly of the oral cavity. CASE PRESENTATION: This report documents a 4-year-old female who was diagnosed with an OLH of the palatal gingiva between the maxillary central incisors. This lesion was treated successfully by local surgical excision. CONCLUSION: Because many of the reported cases of this lesion have developed on the anterior maxillary gingiva, it is important for the periodontist to be aware of this entity.
