Abstract
Extrarenal angiomyolipoma is a rare subtype of benign lipomatous tuner composed of adipose tissue, blood vessels, and smooth muscle. We repo rt a 60-year-old woman who developed an angiomyolipomatous tumor of th e tongue and discuss the differential diagnosis along with a review of the literature. The term angiomyolipomatous hamartoma is proposed for the present lesion to distinguish it from classic oral angiomyolipoma .
