Abstract

Patients with nasal masses presented in our office complained for nasal obstruction and epistaxis. The commonest nasal masses are simple polyps. In this review we highlight some of the unusual nasal masses seen in our office the last 4 years.

We had 17 patients in our office. Besides clinical examination (endoscopy included), the patients underwent a CT. MRI is superior in imaging soft tissues and in distinguishing between inflammation and neoplasia, but MRI is inferior in nasal cavity due to its pure demonstration of bony architecture.

All patients were operated. The istochemical examination revealed 1 plasmocytom, 2 inverted papillomas, 7 granulomas (1 Wegener granulomatosis), 2 cysts, 1 rhinofibroma, 2 angiofibroma, 1 adenocarcinoma and 1 non-Hodgkin lymphoma. The follow-up revealed no recurrence.

Patients with nasal masses should be operated after a thorough clinical examination and imaging, as all of them could be potentially malignant.
