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:

  • Inverted papilloma, wherein the surface epithelial cells grow downward into the underlying supportive tissue.
    Inverted papilloma, wherein the surface epithelial cells grow downward into the underlying supportive tissue.
  • Squamous papilloma, with acanthosis and hyperkerratosis.
    Squamous papilloma, with acanthosis and hyperkerratosis.

In case of significant 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.

  • Benign mixed inflammation of an inflammatory sinonasal polyp.
    Benign mixed inflammation of an inflammatory sinonasal polyp.
  • Extranodal NK/T cell lymphoma, nasal type.[2] These lymphoma cells are typically monotonous, with folded nuclei, indistinct nucleoli and moderate amount of cytoplasm.[3]
