Abstract
Nasal chondromesenchymal hamartoma (NCMH) is a rare, benign lesion of the sinonasal tract. It usually presents as a polypoid mass in infants and older children. Imaging studies and endoscopy are required to delineate the extent of the lesion and aid in its excision. This unusual lesion is composed of proliferating mesenchymal and cartilaginous elements. Recently, a genetic association between NCMH and DICER1 mutation has been established. It is important for pathologists to be familiar with this entity to avoid misdiagnosis since the lesion is benign and surgical excision is curative.
