Nasal chondromesenchymal hamartoma (NCMH) is a benign tumor that was described in 1998. The occurrence of this lesion in the nasal cavity of infants and children is especially rare, with only 21 cases reported in the international literature. We report a 12-month-old boy with respiratory distress due to nasal obstruction. Computed tomographic scan and magnetic resonance imaging examination demonstrated a soft-tissue mass obstructing the left nasal cavity. Digital subtraction angiography and preoperative superselective embolization with microparticles were also performed. The tumor was completely resected surgically. Histopathology and immunohistochemical analyses of the tumor disclosed a NCMH. The imaging characteristics of the tumor are described and the radiology literature is reviewed.
鼻软骨间叶性错构瘤（NCMH）是一种于1998年被描述的良性肿瘤。该病变在婴幼儿鼻腔中尤为罕见，国际文献仅报道过21例。我们报告了一名12个月大因鼻塞导致呼吸窘迫的男童。计算机断层扫描和磁共振成像检查显示有一软组织肿块阻塞左鼻腔。还进行了数字减影血管造影及术前用微粒进行超选择性栓塞。肿瘤通过手术被完全切除。对肿瘤进行的组织病理学和免疫组化分析显示为鼻软骨间叶性错构瘤。描述了该肿瘤的影像学特征并复习了放射学文献。
