Nasal cavity tumors among the factors that play a role in the etiology of prolonged contact with wood dust, cigarette and tobacco use habits can be considered. Malignant tumors in these locations, the first signs of clinical findings are nonspecific, often are confused with inflammatory diseases, so diagnosis is delayed to take. The aim of these study benign and malignant pathology of the nasal cavity, septum, vestibulum and concha symptoms, clinical findings and treatment approaches review with the literature. Material and Method During 10 years period (from January 1989 to January 2009), the 102 (%60.0) of men and 68 (%40) of women in total 170 patients that were operated because of the nasal patalogies in Cumhuriyet University Faculty of Medicine department of otorhinolaryngology was included in this study. All of the patients age, gender, lesion location, the first clinical complaints, symptoms of the emergence time and duration; physical examination findings, treatment, recurrence and histopathological diagnosis, follow-up period, recurrence and their surgical recovery of the properties recorded as statistically were analyzed. Findings ENT examination of these cases in this study lesions were located in the 18 (10.6%) nasal septum, 142 (% 83.5) nasal cavity, 5 (2.9%) turbinate and 5 (2.9%) originate in vestibuli. Histopathologically diagnosis of patient were done with 168 (98.8%) of the cases by surgical excision and 2 (1.2%) of the cases by incisional biopsy. Results ENT physicians are encountered many benign and malignant pathologies in the nasal region that clinical symptoms mimic inflammatory pathologies. Delay in the diagnosis of malignant pathology significantly worse prognosis. Therefore, treatment-resistant patients, and this should always be very close clinical follow-up could be kept in mind in the diagnostic pathology of the malignant purpose perhaps repeating insistently biopsiler be made.
