Comprehensiveness

On this resource, the following formatting is used for comprehensiveness:

  • Minimal depth
  • (Moderate depth)
  • ((Comprehensive))

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 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.
  • (Classify as acute (with neutrophils) versus chronic (lymphocytes, eosinophils and/or plasma cells). Also look at any bone fragments for osteomyelitis.) Further information: Osteomyelitis

Reporting

Example:

Right and left sinus contents, excisions:
Benign respiratory mucosa with chronic inflammation.
Bone without significant histopathologic changes.
