Nasal or sinonasal polyps

Look for signs of malignancy. Further information: Evaluation of suspected malignancies

File:Histopathology of a nasal polyp.jpg
Benign nasal/sinonasal polyp (not otherwise specified), consisting of hyperplastic edematous connective tissue with some seromucous glands and inflammation (mostly neutrophils and eosinophils), surrounded by respiratory or squamous epithelium.[1] It can be termed inflammatory nasal/sinonasal polyp when inflammation is more pronounced.

Main differential diagnoses:

In case of inflammation, take at least one high magnification look to confirm that it is mixed and that lymphocytes are not atypical (otherwise, consult hematopathology, particularly whether it could be a lymphoma, notably extranodal NK/T cell lymphoma, nasal type.
