Abstract

We report CT and MR imaging findings for a case of nasal chondromesenchymal hamartoma occurring in a 19-month-old boy. A nasal chondromesenchymal hamartoma is a rare benign pediatric hamartoma that can simulate malignancy. Although rare, knowledge of this entity is essential to avoid potentially harmful therapies.

Keywords: Nose, neoplasms; Paranasal sinus, CT; Paranasal sinus, MR; Paranasal sinus, neoplasms.
