Hamartoma - Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HamartomaA hamartoma is a mostly benign, local malformation of cells that resembles a neoplasm of local tissue but is usually due to an overgrowth of multiple aberrant cells, with a basis in a systemic genetic condition, rather than a growth descended from a single mutated cell (monoclonality), as would typically define a benign neoplasm/tumor. Despite this, many hamartomas are found to have clonal chromosomal …

The abnormality is that there are an excess number of cells that are structurally different from the main cells. A hamartoma occurs when the tissue in the growth did not develop completely. Hamartomas can occur throughout the body, but are often found in the head and neck, particularly around the ears.
