Abstract :
Respiratory epithelial adenomatoid hamartoma (REAH) is a rare benign lesion of the sinonasal cavity. In this report, by physical examination in the anterior part of the nasal cavity, on the septum a mass lesion was detected and paranasal sinus computed tomography (PSCT) performed. On PSCT; bounded, homogenious, solid lesion was shown and no evidence of invasion of surrounding bone and cartilage structures. Histopathologic diagnosis of the lesion was evaluated as REAH. Though REAH is a very rare benign lesion of sinonasal cavity the treatment is only simple excision. Therefore keeping it in mind in differential diagnosis list, aggressive surgical procedures should be avoided. The clinical and radiological features are discussed in the light of the literature.
