“…11 The study conducted by Sharma et al also found similar results with male to female ratio of 1.38:1. 12 Another study done by Lathi et al showed similar findings with male to female ratio of 1.5:1. 13 Males are often exposed to dust, infection and smoking habits, and have more outdoor functioning as compared to females.…”

Background: The nasal masses are most commonly encountered condition in outpatient department of otorhinolaryngology. The purpose of this study was to show the clinical, radiological and histopathological correlation of sino nasal masses.Methods: This study was conducted on 100 cases with sino nasal masses over a period of 2 years. A provisional diagnosis was made after clinical and radiological investigation which was confirmed with histopathological examination and the findings were correlated. Results: The number of non-neoplastic lesions were more than neoplastic lesions (75% vs 25%). Incidence was highest in the age group of 31-40 year (21%) with male to female ratio of 1.5:1. In our study among non-neoplastic lesion, inflammatory lesion had highest frequency (75%). We found clinical and histopathological correlation in 94.6% cases (p value 0.04). 93.33% cases correlated radiologically and histopathologically (p value 0.04). Conclusions: We concluded that for proper evaluation of sino nasal masses, clinical, radiological, histopathological evaluation should be carried out conjointly. Histopathologic evaluation remains the gold standard.

Background: Nasal polyps are defined as pearly white, prolapsed, pendunculated oedematous Sino-nasal mucosa. They are unique in their position and their composition. Many hypotheses concerning its pathogenesis have been proposed. But till now there is no clear evidence for any single cause. This study was taken-up to study the clinical profile of cases with sino-nasal polyps.Methods: Cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted in the Department of Otolaryngology at Vijayanagara Institution of Medical Sciences, Bellary, between January 2016 to April 2016 involving 60 patients fulfilling inclusion and exclusion criteria. Pre-tested and edited proforma was used to collect the data. Results: Out of 60 participants, 63.4% were males, mean age was 29.5 years. Ethmoidal polyp (63.4%) was the most common polyp followed by antrochoanal polyp (33.4%). Ethmoidal polyp was most commonly observed 31-40 years age while antrochoanal polyp was observed in 11-20 years age. Ethmoidal polyp and antrochoanal polyp were observed more commonly in males and females respectively. The most common presenting symptoms were nasal obstruction and nasal discharge.Conclusions: Ethmoidal polyps are the most commonly observed sino-nasal polyps followed by antrochoanal polyp. Ethmoidal polyp was more commonly observed in adult age group while antrochoanal polyp was observed in children. The most common presenting symptoms were nasal obstruction and nasal discharge.

Background: The immuno-compromised individuals have a high Incidence of fungal infections of the nose and the paranasal sinuses. There is a variation in the fungal species that manifest in different subset of individuals. The species and the susceptible individuals were studied in the Punjab population, to suggest measures to attain a better outcome.Methods: 50 subjects treated for paranasal fungal infection by rhinology division of the oto-rhino-laryngology services, Dayanand Medical College and hospital, Ludhiana, were analysed. The prospective study was carried out in a period of one and a half year (June 2009 to December 2010).Results: Mycotic infections was predominantly noted in the age group 51-60 years i.e. in 14 patients (28%) followed by 41-50 years, 13 cases (26%). There were 29 (58%) of males and 21 (42%) females with a male:female ratio of 1.4:1. Amongst 50 patients with mycotic infection, 19 (38%) were diabetic. All 15 (100%) patients with zygomycosis had underlying diabetes while only 4 (21%) with aspergillosis were diabetic.Conclusions: Zygomycosis occurs usually in diabetics, while in aspergillosis the underlying morbidity may or may not be diabetes. Timely medical treatment is essential to check diabetes and species identification to select the appropriate antifungal medication.
