Abstract
Masses in nasal cavity form a heterogeneous group of lesions with a broad spectrum of histopathological features. The present study was histopathological assessment of lesions of nasal cavity. Methods: This present study was conducted on 113 specimens of nose obtained from ENT department. The sections were stained with haematoxylin and eosin, dried and mounted in DPX and then microscopy was done. Results: Maximum specimens were obtained from age group 21-30 years (45), followed by 31-40 years (28), 11-20 years (24), 41-50 years (13) and >50 years (3). The difference was significant (P< 0.05). Non neoplastic nasal lesions were 82 which comprised of polyps (66), mucormycosis (14), rhinophyma (2). Out of 16 neoplastic (benign) nasal lesions, inverted papilloma was seen in 8, hemangioma in 3, angiofibroma in 2, ossifying fibroma in 2. Out of 8 neoplastic (borderline) nasal lesions, 8 were hemangiopericytoma. Out of 7 neoplastic (malignant) nasal lesions, SCC was seen in 4 and BCC in 3. Conclusion: Common nasal lesions were seen in age group 21-30 years and maximum lesions were non- neoplastic nasal lesions and neoplastic (benign) nasal lesions.
