“…The most common symptoms are unilateral nasal obstruction, although bilateral location has been described in the literature [ 15 ], mucopurulent secretion, and epistaxis. However, in most cases, the patients are asymptomatic [ 11 ]. In our case, the patient presented with dacryorrhea, periorbital pain, and edema due to invasion of the nasolacrimal duct and the orbit.…”

“…Most patients are middle or advanced age, with approximately the same incidence between sexes [ 6 , 10 ]. Patients usually present with a long-standing history of nasal obstruction, mucopurulent secretion, and/or epistaxis [ 11 ]. In this article, we present the rare case of a seromucinous hamartoma of the lateral nasal wall with invasion of the orbit.…”

Seromucinous hamartoma is a rare benign glandular proliferation arising from the respiratory epithelium of the sinonasal tract and nasopharynx. It was described for the first time in 1974 by Baillie and Batsakis. Since then, few cases have been reported in the literature with most of them occurring in the posterior nasal septum. We report the case of a 52-year-old woman that presented to our department with left periorbital edema, pain, and dacryorrhea due to seromucinous hamartoma arising from the left inferior turbinate and extending through the lateral nasal wall into the maxilla, the nasolacrimal duct, and the orbit. Endoscopic medial maxillectomy and endoscopic transnasal orbital tumor resection were performed. The patient remains symptom-free for 16 months, till her most recent follow-up. Seromucinous hamartoma of the nasal cavity is an exceedingly rare diagnosis, especially in the lateral nasal wall. It should be included in the differential diagnosis of nasal tumors. According to the literature review, this is the first case report of seromucinous hamartoma with orbit infiltration. Endonasal endoscopic resection is the treatment of choice.

“…Seromucinous hamartoma is a rare, benign lesion of the sinonasal tract and nasopharynx characterised by glandular proliferation. The majority originate from the posterior nasal septum as a unilateral polypoid mass, and they are covered by respiratory epithelium as seen on histopathology 1. Seromucinous hamartomas typically present either as an incidental finding on imaging or in patients complaining of rhinorrhoea, epistaxis or obstructive symptoms.…”

A woman in her 70s presented to primary care clinic complaining of acute onset dizziness for 1 day that was initially diagnosed as vestibular neuritis and treated with steroids. The next day, she presented to the emergency department with worsening symptoms. Imaging revealed no intracranial process; however, non-contrast CT imaging revealed a soft-tissue mass in the posterior ethmoid sinus. The vertigo completely resolved before an otolaryngologist surgically removed the nasal mass, which actually originated from the right cribriform plate and extended to the anterior middle turbinate head. The final pathology was consistent with seromucinous hamartoma.
