Abstract
In clinical settings, it is common to encounter a variety of non‐neoplastic and neoplastic disorders affecting the paranasal sinuses and nasal cavity. This study's main goal was to examine the histological and clinical features of polypoidal masses in the paranasal sinuses and nasal cavity at a tertiary care hospital in kerala between March 2020 and March 2023. This retrospective investigation covered 202 cases of polypoidal masses in the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses over a three‐year period (March 2020 to March 2023) (122 males, 80 females; age range: 10 years to 83 years). All tissues were treated and stained with hematoxylin and eosin after being fixed in 10% buffered formalin for routine histopathological examination. These 202 cases were divided into two general categories: lesions that were malignant and non malignant. These lesions were more prevalent in third and fourth decades of life with male preponderance. Of the masses seen in the nasal and paranasal sinuses, 34 (16.8%) were neoplastic and 168 (83.1%) were non‐neoplastic. Out of all the non‐neoplastic masses, allergic polyps (47.61%) were the most prevalent and among benign neoplasms, Inverted papillomas (45.46%) were most common. Squamous cell carcinoma and adenoid cystic carcinomas (27.07%) were the most common among malignant masses that occurred in the study population. We came to the conclusion that clinical, radiological, and histopathological correlation enables us to classify these sinonasal lesions into different non‐neoplastic and neoplastic lesions. A final histopathological examination confirms the diagnosis, though in a small number of cases, special stains, immunohistochemistry, and molecular studies were required.
