This paper presents an unusual solid mesenchymal hamartoma of the liver (MHL) in adult. A well defined solid mass in the left lobe of the liver was found in a 57-year-old female. Preoperative radiologic examinations demonstrated solid mass with multifocal calcifications abutting the gallbladder. By light microscopy, the lesion was composed of dense fibrous stroma with hyalinization, bile ducts and thick-walled vessels without hepatocytes. The solid and hyalinized mesenchymal component would suggest an unusual degenerative change representing a burnt-out MHL.

Colonic hamartomas are rare polypoid lesions. We report an unusual case of multiple colonic hamartomatous polyps, including a giant hamartoma, unrelated to hereditary or familial polyposis syndromes, in a 48-year-old man. The diameter of the largest polyp was 9.5 cm, and endoscopy revealed that the lesion caused colonic obstruction. The clinical, endoscopic and histological aspects of this case are discussed.

Fibrous hamartoma of infancy is an uncommon benign fibrous proliferation, usually presenting as a solitary nodule. A rare example of multiple fibrous hamartoma of infancy is described. Two masses which developed in the upper arm of a 10-month-old boy were successfully excised, and one month later three small nodules 2 cm below the previous operation field appeared. It will be further elucidated whether multiple forms and early recurrence are related or not as cases accumulate.

Laryngeal hamartoma is a benign proliferative tumor-like lesion that occurs in the larynx. A case of supraglotic laryngeal hamartoma admitted by our department and 12 cases of laryngeal hamartoma reported in literature were retrospectively analyzed, the pathogenesis, clinicalmanifestation, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of laryngeal hamartoma was explored, aiming to improve the understanding and diagnosis and treatment.of this disease.

〓 Objectives: To analyze the pathological and clinical features of nasal respiratory epithelial adenomatoid hamartoma（REAH）, and summarize the diagnostic points, to improve the experience of diagnosis and treatment. Methods:The clinical data of 16 patients with REAH were analyzed retrospectively. The clinical manifestations, pathological features, imaging features, surgical treatment and prognosis were summarized. Results:16 cases of REAH were studied, 10 cases（62.50%） were associated with sinusitis, 1 case（6.25%） was associated with inverted papilloma, 1 case（6.25%） was associated with hemangioma. 5 cases（31.25%） had a history of nasal sinus surgery, including 1 case with 3 times of nasal sinus surgery, 1 case with 2 times of nasal sinus surgery, 3 cases with 1 time of nasal sinus surgery; 10 cases（62.50%） occurred in the bilateral olfactory cleft, 2 cases（12.50%） in the unilateral olfactory cleft, 3 cases（18.75%） in the unilateral middle turbinate, 1 case（6.25%） in the nasopharynx. All 16 patients were pathologically diagnosed as REAH. In the patients with lesions located in bilateral olfactory fissures, symmetrical widening of olfactory fissures and lateral displacement of middle turbinate were observed on preoperative sinus CT. The average width of bilateral olfactory fissures was （9.9±2.70） mm. The ratio of wide to narrow olfactory cleft was 1.21 ± 0.19. There was no significant difference in Lund-Mackay score between the two sides（P>0.05）. All patients underwent surgery under general anesthesia and nasal endoscopy. The follow-up period ranged from 1 to 66 months, and no recurrence occurred. Conclusion:Preoperative diagnosis of REAH is facilitated by the combination of clinical manifestations and endoscopic and imaging features. Endoscopic complete resection can achieve a good therapeutic effect.
