Sinonasal Organized Hematoma Mimicking Nasal Polyposis

The Imaging Findings of Sinonasal Organized Hematoma

Sinonasal organized hematoma: CT and MR imaging findings.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Sinonasal organized hematoma (OH) is an uncommon, nonneoplastic benign condition that can be locally aggressive. The purpose of this work was to characterize the CT and MR imaging findings of sinonasal OH. MATERIALS AND METHODS CT (n = 11) and MR (n = 10) images of 12 patients (9 men and 3 women; mean age, 41 years; range, 12-76 years) with pathologically proved sinonas...

A Rare Case of Isolated Nasal Neurofibroma Mimicking Sinonasal Polyp

Neurofibromas are benign peripheral nerve sheath tumors which originate from Schwann cells. They are known to occur in extremities as a local manifestation of Von Recklinghausen’s disease i.e. type 1 neurofibromatosis, but isolated neurofibroma occurring in the nasal cavity is a rare entity. Here we report one such case in a 60 year old lady who, presented to us with complaints of difficulty in...
