hamarto-, hamart- +

(Greek: sin, to miss the mark; error; failure; that part of theology that deals with sin)

multiple hamartomas

Congenital malformations that present slowly growing masses of abnormal tissues in multiple sites.

The tissues are appropriate to the organ in which the hamartomas are located, but they are not normally organized.

They may appear in blood vessels as hemangiomata, and in the lung and kidney. They are not malignant, but they cause symptoms because of the spaces they occupy.
