About 1,12,500 patients came from particularly 5 districts of Coastal Andhra Pradesh and also from Madhya Pradesh and Odissa in the above period of 15 months; 132 nasal surgeries like Functional endoscopic sinus surgery (95), Endoscopic assisted intranasal excision (24), Lateral Rhinotomy (6), Caldwell-Luc (5) and others were conducted to 132 (0.3% in the study group with nasal symptoms) patients with benign mass lesions of the nose for Nasal Polyposis, Juvenile Nasopharyngeal Angiofibroma, Inverted papilloma, Rhinosporidiosis and others which were identified among 43,940 patients that attended to outpatient department with nasal symptoms. CONCLUSION Functional endoscopic sinus surgery for nasal polyposis (71.96%) has evolved to be the commonest surgical approach among the surgical methods used for treating benign mass lesions of the nose. Next comes the intranasal endoscopic assisted excision (10.6%), later are Lateral rhinotomy, Caldwell-Luc, Weber-Ferguson’s and simple external excision approaches in descending order for common lesions like Juvenile Nasopharyngeal Angiofibroma, Inverted Papilloma and rare tumours like Rhinosporidiosis, Fibrous dysplasia, Cerebral encephalocele and nasal dermoid.
