Rare cases of nasal mass with bleeding: case series

Abstract

<p>A thorough evaluation of nasal masses along with early management of the disease can prevent complications and further deterioration of the disease to a larger extent.<strong> </strong>Nasal mass occurring in the nose with symptoms of epistaxis is a sign of suspicion of malignancy. Patients can have variable presentations according to the site and extent of the infection. This article comprises of study done on 3 patients who presented to the ear, nose, and throat (ENT) out patient department with nasal mass with bleed.

Thorough evaluation helps the operating surgeon to come to a specific diagnosis so that the chances of diagnosing rare cases does not get ruled out and helps the further deterioration of the disease.</p>

A case series of rare sinonasal tumors

“…Sinonasal tumors represent less than 3% of head and neck cancers and 0.8% of all human cancers. 1 Approximately 55% originate in the maxillary sinuses, 35% in the nasal cavity, 9% in the ethmoid and 1% in the frontal and sphenoid sinuses. 2 The symptoms are identical to those of inflammatory diseases.…”

“…2 The symptoms are identical to those of inflammatory diseases. 1 Due to low incidence of these tumors, there are difficulties in definitive diagnosis and adequate treatment. The aim of our study is to describe rare sinonasal tumors like glomangiopericytoma, embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma, small cell sinonasal carcinoma, inverted papilloma and SNUC.…”
