<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> Aim and objectives of the study were to analyze and study the diverse presentations of unilateral nasal mass and to identify the suggestive features of neoplastic pathology in adult’s population at a tertiary referral hospital.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> A retrospective analysis of 90 patients presented with unilateral sinonasal mass, reported to the Rhinology and Skull Base Clinic at the department of ENT in King Fahad Specialist Hospital, Dammam. The parameters include patient history, clinical assessments and histopathological examinations, which were supplemented with radiological investigations.In addition, demographic information and histopathological examinations for patients, who underwent surgical excision was analyzed for correlation with clinical diagnosis.  </p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results:</strong> The reported cases are 55 males and 35 females with a median follow-up period of 12 months, ranging from 2-72 months. Nasal obstruction is the major symptom 34 (38%), 25 (27.8%) cases were reported with nasal mass and clinical diagnosis indicates 18 (20%) cases of malignancy. Type of disease and gender demonstrates low significance (p=0.023), whereas the diagnosis with age is highly significant (p=0.005).</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Conclusions:</strong> Carcinoma, inflammatory polyposis, inverted papilloma and allergic fungal sinusitis were the highest histological diagnosis. The clinical diagnosis and the suggestive features of radiological findings mostly resembled the histological findings. In contrary to the resemblance, the histological finding reveals the general diagnosis of nasal mass to the precise diagnosis, especially the fatal conditions like carcinoma. The high rate of malignancy and its suggestive radiological findings indicates that the specialists should consider the cases with caution to carryout histological analysis to rule out the probability of neoplasm.</p>

Fungal sinusitis is a relatively common, often misdiagnosed disease process involving the paranasal sinuses. It is a serious condition, as certain forms of fungal sinusitis are associated with a high rate of mortality. Successful treatment requires a prompt diagnosis and frequently relies on radiologic imaging, specifically computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. The classification of fungal sinusitis is ever changing, but under the most current and widely accepted classification fungal sinusitis is broadly categorized as either invasive or noninvasive. Invasive fungal sinusitis is defined by the presence of fungal hyphae within the mucosa, submucosa, bone, or blood vessels of the paranasal sinuses. Invasive fungal sinusitis is subdivided into acute invasive fungal sinusitis, chronic invasive fungal sinusitis, and chronic granulomatous invasive fungal sinusitis. Conversely, noninvasive fungal sinusitis is defined by the absence of hyphae within the mucosal and other tissues of the paranasal sinuses. Noninvasive fungal sinusitis is subdivided into allergic fungal sinusitis and fungus ball (fungal mycetoma).Journal of Science Foundation, 2014;12(1):16-19

Giant Cell Reparative Granuloma (GCRG) is an unusual non-neoplastic lesion which most commonly involves maxilla and mandible. We present a case of GCRG of the nasal cavity in a young female presented with the complaint of progressively nasal obstruction. Radiological findings are usually nonspecific in this entity, therefore a good clinical, radiological and pathological correlation is needed for final diagnosis and to differentiate it from other giant cell lesions. Surgical excision is the preferred treatment modality over simple curettage.

History Of

We report a rare case of an extramedullary plasmacytoma (EMP) in the frontal sinus with an indolent clinical presentation. Although a history of trauma was absent, the initial diagnosis was a mucocele, based on the radiological findings. Upon surgical excision, the patient was found to have an EMP. EMP, a form of solitary plasmacytoma, has a significantly high rate of conversion to multiple myeloma. This mandates long-term follow-up, even after successful radiotherapy and/or resection. While radiation therapy is generally considered a first line treatment for EMP, surgical intervention may provide optimal treatment in complicated cases. This case presentation highlights the prognosis of patients diagnosed with EMP.
