Little is known about REAH, with only a few published case reports appearing since its original description in 1995. Classically described as an isolated polypoid lesion arising from the nasal septum, more recent descriptions also suggest that REAH can occur among nasal polyps. We report the largest experience with REAH to date, and aim to better understand and characterize this unique entity.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>In this case series, all cases of REAH diagnosed between 2006 and 2011 were reviewed. Clinical presentation, histologic and radiographic features, and operative findings were examined.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>There were 45 patients 19 females and 26 males, with a mean age of 55.9 years (range, 23\u201383). Most cases of REAH (33\/45, 73%) were found in association with another pathologic process (sinonasal polyposis, adenoiditis, hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia [HHT], inverted papilloma [IP], or malignancy). Of these, REAH occurring among diffuse polyposis (79% of cases) represented the large majority. The average Harvard computed tomography (CT) stage for this cohort was 3.1. The other presentation of REAH (12\/45, 27%) was an isolated sinonasal mass. In cases of isolated REAH, the majority of lesions (75%) were noted to be originating in the olfactory clefts.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Isolated REAH, which may mimic a neoplasm, appears to be a different clinical entity than the more common form encountered in association with nasal polyps and inflammation. Further investigation into the etiology and clinical significance is needed.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/alr.21083","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,10,4]],"date-time":"2012-10-04T12:59:25Z","timestamp":1349355565000},"page":"248-253","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":34,"title":["The presentation and clinical significance of sinonasal respiratory epithelial adenomatoid hamartoma (REAH)"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"3","author":[{"given":"Karen A.","family":"Hawley","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Head and Neck Institute Section of Rhinology Sinus and Skull Base Surgery Cleveland Clinic Foundation  Cleveland OH"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sheila","family":"Pabon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine  Cleveland OH"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Aaron P.","family":"Hoschar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anatomic Pathology Cleveland Clinic Foundation  Cleveland OH"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Raj","family":"Sindwani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Head and Neck Institute Section of Rhinology Sinus and Skull Base Surgery Cleveland Clinic Foundation  Cleveland OH"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,10,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/PAP.0b013e31802efb1e"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s12105-008-0064-3"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"530","DOI":"10.5858\/2007-131-530-MCICSR","article-title":"Basal\/myoepithelial cells in chronic sinusitis, respiratory epithelial adenomatoid hamartoma, inverted papilloma, and intestinal\u2010type and nonintestinal\u2010type sinonasal adenocarcinoma: an immunohistochemical study","volume":"131","author":"Ozolek J","year":"2007","journal-title":"Arch Pathol Lab Med"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/jcp.2007.053702"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s12105-009-0159-5"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/000348949510400809"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.otohns.2009.11.014"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00405-011-1713-9"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3174\/ajnr.A1755"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.anl.2009.10.003"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/lary.22399"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0194-5998(97)70129-3"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/SCS.0b013e31822ea68b"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_15_1","first-page":"264","article-title":"Respiratory adenomatoid hamartoma must be suspected on CT\u2010scan enlargement of the olfactory clefts","volume":"44","author":"Lima NR","year":"2006","journal-title":"Rhinology"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_16_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2500\/ajr.2008.22.3236"}],"container-title":["International Forum of Allergy &amp; Rhinology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/api.wiley.com\/onlinelibrary\/tdm\/v1\/articles\/10.1002%2Falr.21083","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1002\/alr.21083","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,30]],"date-time":"2023-10-30T06:10:44Z","timestamp":1698646244000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1002\/alr.21083"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2012,10,4]]},"references-count":15,"journal-issue":{"issue":"3","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2013,3]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1002\/alr.21083"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/alr.21083","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["2042-6976","2042-6984"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2042-6976","type":"print"},{"value":"2042-6984","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2012,10,4]]}}}
