Chondroid syringoma, a mixed tumor of the skin, is an acquired hamartoma that differentiates into hair follicles, sebaceous glands, and apocrine sweat glands. Chondroid syringoma in the ear region is exceptionally rare. However, we present 2 cases of ear chondroid syringoma: 1 involving multiple lesions in the external auditory canal and the other including a single lesion behind the auricle.

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.

Odontoma is a hamartoma or developmental malformation of dental tissues and often causes delayed or impacted permanent teeth. This paper reports a case of surgical removal of an odontoma that is closely attached to the labial bone plait and examines the extraction of accompanying high-impacted maxillary canine beside the nose and maxillary sinus. Digital technology was used in reconstructing a part of a patient's maxilla, odontoma, related teeth, and other adjacent anatomical structures, accurately determine the lesion boundary, and design an optimal surgical plan.

Background: We present this case to highlight the importance of considering seromucinous hamartoma in the differential diagnosis of nasal cavity lesions, particularly due to its rarity and potential for being mistaken for more aggressive pathologies. Seromucinous hamartoma, although benign, can exhibit clinical and histological features that overlap with those of malignant tumors, posing a diagnostic challenge. This case is especially noteworthy due to the unusual presentation of sebaceous differentiation within seromucinous hamartoma, a feature not previously documented in the literature.
