We describe a case of an unusual tongue hamartoma associated with ectrodactyly‐ectodermal dysplasia‐clefting syndrome in a 3‐month‐old white female infant. The lesion was composed of a mixture of salivary glands, adipose tissue, smooth muscle and skeletal muscle in a haphazard fashion. Lingual hamartomas are rare and can present a clinical differential diagnostic problem. We review the literature on this unique combination of malformations.
