HISTOPATHOLOGICAL SPECTRUM OF POLYPOIDAL LESIONS OF NASAL & PARA-NASAL SINUSES
Journal Title: Indian journal of applied basic medical sciences - Year 2018, Vol 20, Issue 30
Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Polypoidal lesions of nasal and para-nasal sinuses are commonly seen in clinical practice and have a wide array of histopathological subtypes. Aim of this study was to observe the occurrence and distribution of these subtypes. METHODOLOGY: An observational study over 3 years (2014 – 2017) was carried out at a tertiary care centre. The details of all the histo-pathological specimens of polypoidal lesions from nasal & para-nasal sinuses were processed and subtyped as per defined protocol. The observations were analysed, classified and compared with other studies using appropriate statistical tests. RESULTS: Out of total 96 specimens, majority of the lesions (n=47, 48.96%) belonged to young age group (21 to 40 years). Non-neoplastic lesions comprised of 82 cases (85.41%) with inflammatory polyp being the most common subtype (n=66, 68.80%). Neoplastic lesions showed Inverted Papilloma (n=4.16%), Angiofibroma (n=3.12%) and Hemangioma (n=3.12%) as commonest lesions. Malignant subtypes were seen in 2 cases. CONCLUSION: Non-neoplastic lesions were the most common variety of nasal / para-nasal polypoidal masses, with inflammatory polyp being the most common subtype. Histological analysis helps in prognosis and management of such polypoidal lesions.
