Heredity of nasal polyps

Abstract

This study strongly indicates that heredity is a factor of importance for development of nasal polyps.

Unilateral nasal pathologies: clinical presentation and management

“…Kucur C et al nasal polyposis, mucocele, inverted papilloma, benign and malignant lesions of the minor salivary glands, hemangioma, neurogenic tumors, epidermoid carcinoma, leukemia and lymphoma can be enumerated. [3] However, in our study 16 neoplastic and 57 non-neoplastic lesions were detected in a total of 73 patients.…”

“…Besides, partial invasion or compression of trigeminal nerve occur. [2,3] In our cases, nasal obstruction was observed as the most frequent admission complaint. Primary reason of admission was nasal obstruction in 46 (63%) patients.…”

“…If aspirate contains cerebrospinal fluid or diffuse hemorrhagic fluid, CT imaging or angiography should be planned before biopsy. [3] Incisional and excisional biopsies were obtained under local anesthesia in order to establish the final diagnosis of all of our cases; however, any intra-, or postoperative surprising diagnosis was not encountered.…”

“…[2] In differential diagnosis, retention cyst, mucocele, inverted papilloma, benign and malignant tumors of the minor salivary glands, hemangioma, neurogenic tumors, epidermoid carcinoma and lymphoma should be contemplated. [3] Although intranasal masses can be most frequently detected using anterior rhinoscopic and endoscopic examination methods, routine paranasal sinus tomograms should be obtained so as to determine the origin and extension of the mass lesions and for the purpose of planning surgical intervention. [4] Since 3-dimensional image of the mass and its invasion to adjacent tissues can be obtained with CT, basic sinus X-rays may cause waste of time and unnecessary expenditures.…”

Evidence-based and precision medicine two of a kind

“…Examples of recent studies in rhinitis and rhinosinusitis are (21)(22)(23) , but also earlier studies carefully and prospectively evaluating daily clinical practice can be included in this group (24)(25)(26)(27) .…”
