Abstract :
Nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses contain masses including inflammatory, infectious, benign and malignant neoplastic masses. Effort was made to solve diagnostic dilemma by focusing on imaging characteristics of various sinonasal masses on CT. 56 patients with sinonasal pathologies were evaluated prospectively over period of 15 months. Detailed imaging characteristics and extents of lesion were noted on CT. Findings were confirmed on histopathological examination. Nasal obstruction was most common symptom (84%). Inflammatory masses were most common masses(62.5%); least common were malignant neoplastic(5.3%). Bone invasion was present in 23.2% cases.Most common mass was inflammatory polyp (57%). Most common sinus involved was maxillary sinus. Early diagnosis with detailed imaging charactristics and extensions of sinonasal masses is made on CT. CT helps to distinguish between inflammatory–infectious, benign and malignant neoplastic masses and also in deciding management and prognosis of sinonasal masses.
