Abstract
- Mixed epithelial and mesenchymal hamartoma in the nasopharynx is extremely rare. Hamartomas of the nasal cavity or nasopharynx are classified as epithelial, mesenchymal and mixed epithelial and mesenchymal types. We report an incidentally detected lesion arising in a 42-year-old female patient. The mass was resected endoscopically and was diagnosed as mixed epithelial and mesenchymal hamartoma. We report and discuss the pathological features and differential diagnosis of this rare nasopharyngeal hamartoma.
