Objective: Hamartomas are relatively uncommon, non-neoplastic malformations indigenous to the involved anatomic site. Respiratory epithelial adenomatoid hamartoma (REAH) is a subsetof hamartoma characterized by prominent glandular proliferation lined by ciliated epithelium originating from the surface epithelium. Their location in the nasal cavity is rare and when present, mostly associated with the posterior nasal septum. We present such a case arising from the anterior nasal septum.Methods:     Design: Case report     Setting: Tertiary University Referral Center     Patient: OneResults: A 32-year-old lady who presented with a long-standing nasal block was found to have a broad-based nasal mass arising from the left anterior nasal septum. The lesion was histologicallydiagnosed as respiratory epithelial adenomatoid hamartoma following surgical excision.Conclusion: Respiratory epithelial adenomatoid hamartoma although rare must be taken intoconsideration in the differential diagnosis of nasal lesions.Keywords: respiratory epithelial adenomatoid hamartoma; anterior nasal septum; nasal block

Respiratory epithelial adenomatoid hamartoma (REAH) is a rare lesion in nasal cavity first reported by Wenig and Heffner in 1995. Most commonly seen in men in third to ninth decade of life. Majority of cases presents as a polypoidal mass in one or both nasal cavities. We experienced such a case of REAH originating from the nasal septum, in posterior aspect, treated by endoscopic approach. It is important to differentiate REAH from other sinonasal pathologies like inverted papilloma and low grade sinonasal adenocarcinoma. Complete surgical resection is the treatment of choice.

We present a case report of a female patient with complaints of single-sided nasal obstruction. A polypoid structure was seen in the nasopharynx. Histologic examination showed a respiratory epithelial adenomatoid hamartoma – a rare, benign lesion. Therapy consisted of complete excision. In line with previous reports, the lesion did not recur during 13 months of follow up. The clinical and pathological features of this abnormality are discussed.

<p>This article aims to report a rare case of respiratory epithelial adenomatoid hamartoma (REAH) arising from nasal septum that initially presented as bilateral sino nasal polyposis. A 45 years old male presented with a complaint of bilateral nasal obstruction for the past 3 years which was progressive and was planned for functional endoscopic sinus surgery. Polypoidal tissue was found to be coming from nasal septum intraoperatively. Histopathological examination confirmed the presence of REAH. This case demonstrates the rare presentation of REAH, clinically presented as sino nasal polyposis and confirmed as REAH by histopathological examination.</p>
