Respiratory Epithelial Adenomatoid Hamartoma-A Case Report
Abstract: Background: Respiratory Epithelial Adenomatoid Hamartoma is a rare benign neoplasm which often clinically mimics a malignant lesion. Accurate histopathological interpretation, supported by close clinicopathological correlation, is essential to minimize misdiagnosis, prevent overtreatment, and enhance overall patient outcomes. Objective-To present the case of 66-year-old male patient who presented with nasal obstruction highlighting clinical, radiological and histopathological information. Result - Radiological and clinical features were suggestive of a malignant lesion. Histopathology together with supportive IHC for CK 5/6 and p63 lead to the diagnosis of REAH. The lesion was completely excised, and the patient remained asymptomatic on follow up. Conclusion: The close resemblance of REAH to low?grade sinonasal adenocarcinoma can lead to misdiagnosis. Recognizing this lesion is necessary to avoid unnecessary aggressive interventions.
