[Nasal hamartoma].
Nasal hamartoma is a rare lesion characterized by a mix of several tissue types. Its location in the nasal septum is even more rare. We report the case of a 35-year-old woman presenting hamartoma in the posterosuperior part of the right nasal cavity. Complete surgical resection by functional endoscopic sinus surgery was the treatment of choice to remove it completely. Hamartomas must be included in the differential diagnostic of unilateral nasal masses, along with inverted papillomas and malignant tumours.
