Hamartoma, hypothalamic: A benign tumor of the hypothalamus, the area of the brain that controls body temperature, hunger, and thirst.
Hamartomas can occur in the stomach and colon. Patients have an increased risk of breast carcinoma, thyroid carcinoma, circumoral papillomatosis, nodular gingival hyperplasia.
See: polyposis syndromes.

Hamartomatosis - The existence of multiple benign tumors resulting from an overgrowth of mature cells and tissues normally present in the affected part.

Multiple hamartomas are associated with a predisposition towards malignant tumors, such as breast cancer. Breast cancer is very common in female patients with this syndrome.
Thyroid carcinoma has also been reported.

The polyps without the potential to turn into cancer include small hyperplastic polyps, inflammatory polyps, and hamartomatous polyps which are not part of an inherited polyp syndrome.

Some neonates are born with an epulis (a benign hamartoma of the gum), which, if large enough, can cause feeding difficulties and may obstruct the airway. These lesions can be removed; they do not recur.
Usually the growths represent abnormal enlargement of the lymph nodes normally found in these areas (lymphoid hamartoma). There are two main types of Castleman's disease: hyaline-vascular type and plasma cell type.
People with Cowden syndrome develop many benign tumours called hamartomas in their skin and mucous membranes, including the bowel. Some people have skin colour changes that make marks in their skin like cobblestones.

Nonneoplastic Polyps: These polyps are not likely to develop into cancer. Hyperplastic polyps, hamartomas, lymphoid and inflammatory polyps are all nonneoplastic polyps.
Patterns of calcifications may indicate pathological processes. Laminated appearance suggests granulomatous disease while popcorn calcification indicate hamartoma. Malignant lesions may have stippled or eccentric lesions.

Cystic lymphangioma results in the appearance of a soft, fluid-filled, yellowish, non-malignant tumor, which usually appears as swollen bubble underneath the skin. The tumor itself is referred to as a hamartoma.
Hypothalamic hamartoma, a blood deposit or mass in the hypothalamus, causing an inability to regulate the pituitary gland. This can result in delayed puberty and amenorrhea, although it can also result in precocious puberty.
