Nasal polyps

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

Benign nasal polyp (not otherwise specified), consisting of hyperplastic edematous connective tissue with some seromucous glands and cells representing inflammation (mostly neutrophils and eosinophils), suroounded by respiratory or squamous epithelium.[1]

Main differential diagnoses:

  • Inverted papilloma, wherein the surface epithelial cells grow downward into the underlying supportive tissue.

  • Squamous papilloma, with acanthosis and hyperkerratosis.
