Abstract
The work was planned to study-the demographic profile of sino-nasal masses, the clinical and radiological findings of sino-nasal masses and the correlation of the clinical and radiological findings with the histopathology. The study was conducted on the patients having sino-nasal masses admitted in Department of ENT, SMS Hospital, Jaipur from August 2008 to July 2010. The study was designed to evaluate the demographic distribution, clinicopathological features, radiological finding of sino-nasal masses and to evaluate the correlation of clinical and radiological findings with the histopathological diagnosis. Comparison of clinical and radiological findings in our study showed that in 83.07% patients the radiological findings were consistent with that of clinical suspicion. In rest either the radiological findings were different or inconclusive. It is concluded that for proper evaluation of nasal polyps clinical, radiological and histopathological evaluation should be done in all the patients, where radiology provides a road map to the endoscopic surgeons and warns of any existing or impending complications. Histopathology always gives a confirmatory diagnosis.
