INTRA-APPENDICAL POLYP

A Mobile Appendical Abscess

Giant Endobronchial Inflammatory Polyp

Inflammatory endobronchial polyp is a rare disease mostly encountered in asthmatic patients. Chronic airway and foreign material irritation or thermal injury may result in the formation of granulated tissues and become polypoid mass. Herein, we describe a 52-year-old man with severe respiratory distress and infection with 35 years history of smoking. He had an obstructive pattern in his pulmona...

Inflammatory Septal Nasal Polyp

Introduction: Nasal polyps are benign prolapsed mucosal lesions which commonly arise from the paranasal sinuses and lateral walls of the nose especially the contact areas of osteomeatal complex.

Sphenochoanal Polyp

A sphenochoanal polyp is a soft tissue mass originating from the sphenoid sinus and extending to the posterior choanae via the sphenoethmoidal recess. Compared with common nasal polyposis and antrochoanal polyps, reports of sphenochoanal polyps in the English literature are relatively rare. In this report, a 12-year-old boy who presented with persistent left nasal obstruction and rhinorrhea was...

Otic polyp.

Pathologic examination will reveal a granulation-type tissue with edematous stroma and a high density of capillaries (figure 1) associated with chronic inflammatory cells, including plasma cells, lymphocytes, histiocytes, and eosino...
