Non Neoplastic Lesions of the Nasal Cavity and Paranasal Sinuses-A Histopathological Study
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 9
Abstract
Nose is one the very prominent and striking part of the face both for its functional and aesthetic significance. Any lesion in that part is very disturbing to the patient and also poses a diagnostic challenge to the clinician due to its closed architecture. Benign lesions of this area are a real challenge to the pathologist. The spectrum of lesions varies remarkably in southern regions of india given the increased humidity and long monsoon. Our study aimed to analyze the histopathological spectrum of various non-malignant lesions of nasal cavity and para-nasal sinuses with reference to sex and age differences. The study was conducted at a tertiary care otorhinolaryngology center, Government ENT hospital, Hyderabad, Telangana over a period of two years (June 2015 to May 2017). We studied 449 sinonasal lesions over a period of two years and 287 were diagnosed as non-neoplastic. The most common lesion was a sinonasal polyp. We noticed that the lesions were common in males of the 3rd and 4 thdecade. Sinonasl masses pose a variety of diagnostic challenge, especially the non-neoplastic lesions which actually outnumber the neoplastic lesions; hence knowledge of all possible lesions in this region enables a pathologist to give an accurate diagnosis
