“…Overall, pediatric male patients presented a higher prevalence of HNC than female patients (65.67% vs 34.33%, respectively); this finding was also reported in most of the previously published studies . Male patients were most affected in the group of 10‐14 years, especially due to the high prevalence of lymphomas, nevertheless, similar to Gosepath et al, we found that females were more affected by thyroid carcinoma in this same age group.…”

“…Lymphomas represented the most common PHNC type in the present sample. Remarkably, our study is in line with most of the pertinent results found in the literature, in which lymphomas showed high prevalence among PHNC patients . Most of these studies were performed in Asiatic and African countries where genetic and geographic factors may be attributed to the higher incidence of lymphomas; however, other studies conducted in the USA also showed that lymphomas were the most common type of PHNC …”

“…39,40 While the gender distribution of Burkitt's lymphoma is in support of published reports, 3,9 the observed slight predilection for the maxilla contrasts with other reports that noted higher occurrence in the mandible. 3,9,14 The results of this study support the observed female predominance for rhabdomyosarcoma 5 but differs from that of a study from Germany. 41 Other malignant jaw tumors such as Hodgkin and nonHodgkin lymphomas, malignant salivary gland tumors, neural and vascular lesions were not observed in this series.…”

Introduction: Nasal polyps are polypoidal masses arising from mucous membranes of nose and paranasal sinuses. They are overgrowths of the mucosa that frequently accompany allergic rhinitis. They are freely movable and nontender. Aims and Objectives:The purpose of this study was to study the histopathologic spectrum of polypoidal lesions of the nasal cavity. Materials and Methods:The study comprised of 100 consecu tive cases of polypoidal lesions in the nasal cavity, received in the department of pathology. The age and sex of the pati ents were recorded. The tissues were routinely processed for histopathologic sections and stained with haematoxylin and eosin stains. Special stains like Periodic acid Schiff (PAS) was done wherever applicable. The cases were classified into neoplastic and nonneoplastic lesions. The neoplastic lesions were further classified according to WHO classification on histopathologic examination.Results: Analysis of 100 polypoidal lesions in the nose and paranasal sinuses with clinical diagnosis of nasal polyps, revealed 66 cases were nonneoplastic and 34 were neoplastic;17 (50%) were benign and 17(50%) were malignant. True nasal polyps both inflammatory and allergic together comprised 44 cases of the 100 polypoidal lesions in the nasal cavity. Angiofibroma and inverted papilloma were the most frequent benign tumour accounting for 12/17(0.7%). The most common malignant tumour was anaplastic carcinoma 7/17(0.4%). Nonneoplastic and benign tumours were common in younger age groups whereas malignant tumours were most common in older males. Conclusion:The majority of polypoidal lesions in the nasal cavity are nonneoplastic.
