Abstract
|
|
Introduction:
Hamartoma is non-neoplastic tumor characterized by excessive proliferation of tissue in parts of the human body. Hamartoma is a very rare in head and neck regions.
Case Report: A case of 33-year-old woman who was initially diagnosed as a chronic sinus inflammation. After Caldwell-Luc approach for surgery, histopathological examination showed respiratory epithelial adenomatoid hamartoma (REAH) of the left maxillary sinus. It was an atypical localization because the most common site for REAH was in the nasal cavity. Conclusion: Even though REAH is very rare, otolaryngologist should be aware of the pathologic entity of this disease to differentiate REAH with inverted papilloma, adenocarcinoma or other paranasal sinuses inflammation. Misinterpretation of REAH as a chronic sinus inflammation may lead to inadequate treatment. | |
