Abstract

Objective: The aim of present study was undertaken to evaluate the histopathological spectrum of nasal polyps with their demographic pattern in our tertiary care hospital.

Material and Methods:  A total of 56 patients of different ages, sex and religions with nasal polyps were attending in ENT OPD has been included in the study.

Result: Out of 56 patients, 28 patients (50%) belonged to 11 to 30 years of age group. Out of 56 patients, 40 cases (71.43%) were male .followed by 28.57% females. On histopathological evaluation, 23(41.07%) were simple nasal polyps and 33 cases (58.93%) found as neoplastic nasal polyps. Out of 33 neoplastic lesions, 25 cases (76%) were benign and 8 cases (24%) found as malignant nasal polyps.

Conclusion: Even fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) has very limited value and in most of the cases, could not be recommended due to inaccessible and high risk of brisk hemorrhages. Among all the nasal polyps, allergic nasal polyps were seen as predominant condition, although malignancy, the dreaded condition, found in all the decades of life, especially after 5th decade. The present histopathological study of nasal polyps is justified and the ultimate diagnostic technique for correct diagnosis.

Keywords: Nasal polyps, histopathological evaluation, allergy, benign, malignant, FNAC.
