Abstract :

         This is a study of 540 selected cases of nasal and nasopharyngeal mass who attended Otorhinolaryngology OPD of M.K.C.G. MCH,Berhampur.

 

Ø Incidence of nasal and nasopharyngeal mass w.r.t. total number of OPD,ENT patient is 0.72%.

Ø 60.56%cases are histologically diagnosed as Rhinosporidiosis,27.78% as nasal polyp. Rhinosporidiosis is more prevalent because of pond bathing&rural habitat of population.

Ø Maximum patients beong to 3rddecade.

Ø Average male:female ratio is 1.47:1.

Ø Higher % of patients from rural area.

Ø Sinonasal polyp is more common than antro–choanal polyps.Nasal allergy is associated with polyposis,as suggested by presence of eosinophils in nasal smear.

Ø 20% fungal mass cases associated with AIDS,showed fulminant course.

Ø Neoplasms constitute about 5% of all cases.Few diseases are almost exclusively seen in males,e.g– angiofioma.

Ø Bone erosion in CT scan is mostly associated with malignancy cases.
