Abstract
Objectives: The aim of this study is to highlight the prevalence of non-neoplastic lesions of nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses in patients attending the ENT OPD of government medical college, Jammu. Study design: This prospective study consists of 42 patients with the non neoplastic lesions out of 66 patients with the nasal and paranasal masses which were reported to ENT opd over a period of 1 year. Results: All the cases were accessed clinically and specimens were sent for histopathology. The non neoplastic lesions in the study group in the decreasing order were nasal polyps, rhinosporodiosis, tuberculosis, dentigerous cyst. All these lesions involve nasal and paranasal sinuses and no non neoplastic lesion was seen in the nasopharynx. Conclusion: This study adds to the descriptive data relating to the incidence, clinical and histological patterns of non neoplastic nose and paranasal sinuses masses, thus consolidating the observations of previous studies. The findings of this study would aid in better diagnosis at an early stage thereby improving patient compliance and better response to treatment.
