Abstract
As much confusion has been generated in the literature by the inaccura te or improper use of terms describing developmental lesions such as h amartoma, choristoma, and teratoma, a number of different benign and m alignant developmental lesions are described and distinguished in the hope that these lesions can be more reliably identified and consequent ly also more adequately managed.
