Nasal and paranasal sinus masses can arise from a wide range of conditions, both benign and malignant, as well as congenital or acquired. Diagnosing these masses is often challenging, requiring a combination of nasal endoscopy, imaging studies, and histopathological analysis. Initial imaging frequently involves computed tomography or cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) to evaluate the bony anatomy of the nasal cavity and surrounding sinuses, while magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is typically used for detailed assessment of soft tissues and to aid in differential diagnosis when the findings are inconclusive.

A hamartoma is a benign tumor that arises from the disorganized proliferation of tissue and can occur anywhere in the body. Hamartomas are notably found in the lung, skin, heart, brain, and breast, while their occurrence in the head and neck is rare. We describe a case involving a 17-year-old male patient who presented with a mass in a unilateral palatine tonsil, discovered incidentally.

Article Synopsis
  • PTEN hamartoma tumour syndrome (PHTS) is a rare genetic condition linked to mutations in the PTEN gene, causing increased cancer risks and benign lesions across various organs.
  • A study conducted over 28 years examined the biopsy histories of 12 women with PTEN mutations, revealing that most presented with benign mucocutaneous lesions and significant breast cancer development, with only one having a known family history of Cowden syndrome.
  • The findings suggest that analyzing past biopsies can help identify underlying cancer susceptibility syndromes like PHTS, leading to better clinical and genetic counseling for affected individuals.
