Abstract
COREAH is a benign lesion of nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses which is extremely rare with only a few cases reported in the literature till date. We herein report an infrequent case of COREAH in a 47 year old male who presented with nasal obstruction and was found to have a choanal mass. The mass was completely excised and sent for histopathological examination. Microscopy showed hamartomatous proliferation of respiratory type glands with numerous spicules of mature bone and cartilage characteristic of COREAH. COREAH is of importance because it can be clinically mistaken for wide range of both benign and malignant neoplasm .Identification of this lesion as a benignenityis particularly important due to its potentially worrisome radiographic appearance and to avoid unwanted radical surgical procedures.
Keywords: Nasal cavity, Hamartoma.
