A polyp is an oedematous mucous membrane which forms a pedunculating process with a slim or broad stalk or base. Nasal polyps originate in the upper part of the nose around the openings to the ethmoidal sinuses. The polyps extend into the nasal cavity from the middle meatus, resulting in nasal blockage and restricted airflow to the olfactory region. The polyp stroma is highly oedematous with a ...
An unusual case of recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma occurring within the stroma of benign nasal polyps is described. The patient was primarily treated with radiotherapy at first diagnosis. Two years later, he was diagnosed to have benign nasal polyps and had endoscopic sinus surgery. The recurrence was only diagnosed from histological examination of the polyps. The necessity for preoperative ...
Airway inflammation in patients with nasal polyps is characterized by the increased presence of eosinophils, the numbers of which are reduced after treatment with topical corticosteroids. Because eosinophilic responses in the airways are in part due to eosinophil progenitor differentiation, we hypothesized that CD34, a cell surface, sialomucinlike glycoprotein that specifically marks hemopoieti...
We report a case of Curvularia lunata infection in an immunocompetent male with an initial diagnosis of suspected left side allergic fungal rhinosinusitis (AFRS), treated surgically. He had a relapse of nasal polyposis and underwent a surgical revision under local anaesthesia with endoscopic nasal polypectomy. The histological examination of the surgical specimen showed an inflammatory polyp of...
Antrochoanal polyps are benign lesions originating from the mucosa of the maxillary sinus and gradually prolapse through the medial wall of the maxillary sinus into the nasal cavity increasing in size to the choana and nasopharynx. Surgery is the usual treatment for antrochoanal polyps. We present the case of a 41-year-old woman who presented with a history of a progressive right nasal obstruct...
OBJECTIVES Nuclear characteristics of epithelial cells in nasal polyps were analyzed. PATIENTS AND METHODS The slides of 35 patients who underwent surgery for nasal polyposis and 18 slides of normal mucosa were examined. The specimens were stained with hematoxylin-eosin. Tissue sections were analyzed by a CCD camera and the Karyotype Program of Human Cytogenetics Nomenclature System on a Maci...
BACKGROUND Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is a multifactorial disease; the underlying mechanisms of cell signalling are not fully understood. STAT3 (signal transducer and activator of transcription 3) is a phosphokinase and a key signalling molecule implicated in cell cycle regulation. We studied the distribution and expression of STAT3 to examine the role of STAT3 in the pat...
OBJECTIVE To study differences between aspirin-tolerant patients and aspirin-intolerant patients concerning vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression. Recent publications strongly suggest the involvement of VEGF and its receptors in the pathophysiologic process of nasal polyps. DESIGN We subjected 43 polyp specimens to semiquantitative immunohistochemical analysis. We quantified VE...
We report two unique cases of 50- and 28-year-old Turkish men with coincidence of conchachoanal polyp and mulberry hypertrophy of the inferior concha. We operated on both cases with endoscopic stripping of the polypoid tissue while preserving the periosteum and healthy mucosa of the inferior nasal concha. The polypoid tile of the left inferior nasal concha was resected in the case with mulberry...
INTRODUCTION Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis is an inflammatory disease that, although not directly linked to allergy, often displays a Th2-skewed inflammation characterized by elevated local IgE and IL-5 levels. The nasal cavity is constantly exposed to bacteria and viruses that may trigger epithelial inflammatory responses. To gain more insight into mechanisms by which such a bias...
