| ABSTRACT |
|
Seromucinous hamartoma (SMH) is rare among the hamartomas that occur from the sinonasal tract and the nasopharynx. Hamartomas can be categorized into seromucinous, respiratory epithelial adenomatoid, and chondromesenchymal subtypes. Among these, SMH have occasionally been observed in the posterior nasal septum and anterior nasal cavity. To date, however, there have been no documented cases originating from the natural ostium of the maxillary sinus. Herein, we describe a case of a 31-year-old man with SMH arising from the natural ostium of the left maxillary sinus. Although rare, this entity should be included in the differential diagnosis when evaluating mass lesions involving the maxillary sinus ostium. |
