It may cause nasal discharge, epistaxis and anosmia. A nasal mass can have various differential diagnosis which this study aims to explore. Material and Methods: A retrospective study of histopathologically diagnosed cases of nasal masses for a period 3 years from January 2017 to December 2019. Results: Out of 95 patients 55 (57.89%) male and 40 (42.10%) female, male to female ratio is 1.37:1 with a mean age of 23 years (range= 2-63 years). Most of the cases 94(98.95%) were non-malignant and only 1(1.05%) was malignant (Adenoid cystic carcinoma). Malignancy of sinonasal tract is rare. Conclusion: With this study we can say that nasal masses are more common in males than females, adults age groups affected more than elderly age groups. It is also inferred that most of the nasal masses are benign in nature and very few cases are malignant in nature.
