Abstrakt:	Hamartomas, as non-true tumors, are commonly found in the lungs, digestive tract, and kidneys, and there are few clinical reports on nasal cases. Nasal histiocytosis accompanied by lymphatic lesions is a common feature of nasal hamartoma. Three patients with nasal cavity hamartoma were treated in our department, including 1 male and 2 females, with nasal obstruction or epistaxis. The imaging (computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging) of 2 patients showed a soft tissue mass in the nasal cavity and no erosion of bone, while in 1 patient, the imaging was inconclusive. The excised material in all patients was found to be a soft mass. The 3 cases showed the same pattern under histological examination, and all 3 patients were diagnosed with nasal cavity respiratory epithelial adenomatoid hamartoma (REAH). Nasal hamartoma is a rare disease with nonspecific clinical manifestations and imaging features and is often misdiagnosed. Only by a better understanding of this disease can the rate of correct clinical diagnosis be improved.
