Rhinosporidiosis is a granulomatous disorder caused by Rhinosporidium seeberi, an aquatic parasite. It spreads through contaminated water and soil. It frequently involves the nasal cavity and nasopharynx. Disseminated or systemic lesions are rare. A 56 year old man presented with multiple tumor like lesions all over the body in our cancer institute in April 2012. Fine needle aspiration cyto...

The present study examined the clinico-pathological profile of sinonasal masses in patients attending an Ear Nose Throat clinic of a rural tertiary care hospital of western Maharashtra in India, between May 2007 to June 2009. During the study period, 112 patients presented with sinonasal masses (male 68, female 44; age group 8-70 years). Nasal polyploid masses were non-neoplastic in 80 (71.4%) ...

in crooked noses, the lateral walls are different in shape and symmetry. although the septum is very important to obtain a straight nose, identical and symmetrical lateral walls are needed for a straight looking nasal dorsum. as well as the septum, lateral walls also contribute in nasal skeletal support and stability. thus, obtaining identical and symmetrical lateral walls is important. in orde...

BACKGROUND Despite the occurrence of the nasal cycle being well documented, the functional purpose of this phenomenon is not well understood. This investigation seeks to better understand the physiological objective of the nasal cycle in terms of airway health through the use of a computational nasal air-conditioning model. METHOD A new state-variable heat and water mass transfer model is dev...

Esthesioneuroblastoma (ENB) is an extremely rare malignant neoplasm of the nasal cavity. We report the case of a middle aged man who presented with a 6-months history of progressive nasal obstruction, watering of the eye, headache and occasional epistaxis. A diagnosis of esthesioneuroblastoma was established by histopathology and confirmed by immunohistochemistry. On staging the mass was classi...

PURPOSE To report a rare case of nasal chondroma presenting as hypertelorism. CASE REPORT We report a case of a 16-year-old boy with a large calcified mass arising from the posterior nasal cavity presenting as hypertelorism. Surgical excision was done, and the histopathological examination revealed a chondroma. The hypertelorism resolved postoperatively. CONCLUSIONS Nasal chondroma may also...

Nasal polyp is one of the common causes of nasal obstruction. The diagnosis is usually made on clinical ground and rarely needs histological examination. However, when a candidate is selected for the surgical option of polyp removal, there is tendency to send all specimens for routine histological examination. The objective of this study was to assess the necessity of routinely performed histol...

EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVE At the conclusion of this presentation, the participants should be able to recognize seeding as a form of treatment failure in transseptal resection of clival chordomas. OBJECTIVES The purpose is to present a case of implanted metastases in the nasal septum after a transseptal approach for resection of clival chordoma and to compare it with other reported cases in the li...

Inverted papilloma is an uncommon primary nasal. Despite its benign nature, this tumor represents three typical characteristics: a high propensity of recurrence, local aggressiveness and association with malignancy. Inverted papilloma can reduce the patient’s quality of life due to compromised nasal function, extension to orbit and brain even in absence of malignancy. We are presenting a case o...
