We report a case of a 50-year-old man diagnosed with aunilateral nasal mass found to be a respiratory epithelialadenomatoid hamartoma (REAH) upon pathologic examination.REAH is a recently described pathologic entity that canpresent with nasal obstruction, congestion, rhinorrhoea,epistaxis, hyposmia, and headaches. It is a rare lesion of nasal and paranasal sinuses, but should be considered in thedifferential diagnosis because it is a benign lesion andcomplete surgical resection is curative.
