Bilateral Naso-sinusal Glandular Hamartoma: A Case Report
نویسنده
چکیده
Differential diagnosis of unilateral nasal mass may be a troublesome question, and also unusual conditions such as glandular hamartoma, consisting in non-neoplastic or inborn malformation, must be considered. We here describe a 78-year-old patient with an unilateral nasal mass, associated to a bilateral naso-sinusal polyposis, which was initially considered to be an inverted papilloma, (on the basis of the preliminary bioptic examination), but that actually resulted a bilateral naso-sinusal glandular hamartoma at definitive histology, after surgical excision.
