6. Face and o r b i t examination
• Facialswelling , cheek and noseskinthickening indicates tumor involved soft tissue
through anteriorwall.
• Proptosisindicates lamina papyraceainvolvement.
• Diplopiapresent along with proptosis in most cases.
• Visionlossindicates to involvement of O.N.
7. Can be divided as..
Anatomical Inflammation/infect
Congn../developmental neoplasms
Nasalmass
10. Congenital / developmental
Glioma
• Ectopic rests of glial tissue.
• Somevisible out side the nasalvault.
• somecompletely present in nasalcavity.
• No expansion oncrying.
11. Meningocele and Encephalocele.
• Meningesout sidecranialvault .
• Located in areaof foramencaecum.
• Expand oncrying.
• Brain tissuealong with meninges
protrude out the cranialvault.
13. Nasal polyp
▪ Non –neoplastic masses.
▪ Edematous nasal orsinus mucosa.
▪ chronic inflammation leading to stromal
edema and variable cellular infiltrate .
▪ watery rhinorrhea , postnasal drip, hyposmia.
▪ A/R reveals single or multiple pale, grey
polypoid masses arising most middle meatus
and prolapsing into the nasalcavity.

• X ray wont help, except for
opacification.
• CT scan wil l show the extent
of NP and anatomical
variations and i s essential
i f surgical treatment i s to
be implemented.

Data from a series of 931 patients treated at the University
Hospitals of Brescia and Varese (Italy) from 1994 to 2013.
20. Inverted papilloma(Schneiderian
papilloma)
• 0.5 to7%of all nasal tumors
• a/c HPV
• From lateral nasal wall (middle meatus mostly +any one
sinus)
• Some times involve septum and involve C/Lcavity
24. Schwannoma
• 25-55yr of age
• Arise from
Schwanncells
• Trigeminal nerve
,Carotid plexus
and
parasympathetic
fibers of
pterygopalatine
ganglion
• Well delineated,
unencapuslated
• Globular
• Firm torubbery
yellow tumor
• Antoni Aand B
bodies
• Endoscopyshows
network of fine
capillaries giving
image ofvascular
tumor.
25. Schwannoma
lesions with a prevalent Antoni A component have
an intermediate signal on both T1- and T2-
weighted images, whereas in those with a
predominant Antoni B pattern, which is related to
a loose myxoid stroma, hyper intensity is observed
on T2-weightedimages.
MRI showing ..A large hyper intense mass obliterates the nasal
fossa and protrudes into the sphenoid and frontal sinus. The
ethmoid roof is eroded, and the crista galli cannot be recognized.
27. Malignant nasal mass
Carcioma
Squamous cell Ca
Adenocarcinoma
Malignant melanoma
Olfactory neuroblastoma
Haemangiopericytoma
Lymphoma
Solitary plasmacytoma
Various types of sarcoma
28. Squamous c e l l CA
▪ m/c malignanttumor
▪ Arise from lateral nasalwall and septum
▪ Grow insidiously with little symptoms.
▪ Pain in maxillaryteeth
▪ Palatal erosion.
▪ Proptosis .
▪ Cheekparesthesia's
29. Adenocarcinoma / adenocystic carcinoma
▪ 4-8 %ofSino nasal tumors
▪ Nasal cavity and ethmoidsinus.
▪ a/c with hardwoodworkers
▪ 3types- papillary, sessile,alveolar
▪ AdenocysticCAm/c minor salivary gland tumor
in Sino nasaltract
▪ m/c inwomen
▪ 3types –cribriform ,tubular , solid
▪ Swiss cheeseapp,
▪ Perineural invasion.
30. Mucosal melanoma
▪ Rapidly lethal
neoplasm.
▪ m/c nasalseptum , inf
turbinate.
▪ Spreadsubmucosally
with little erosion of
bone andcart.
▪ Varies fromnormal to
heavy pigmentation.
▪ IHCs-100 and HMB
45.
31. Esthesioneuroblastoma
▪ From olfactory epith.in
superior nasalvault.
▪ Sup to middleturbinate.
▪ Tumor made of round cells
arranged in to rosettes , pseudo
rosettes andsheets.
▪ Express –NSE, chromogranin
,synaptophysin.
▪ Snowman appearance onCT
scan.
32. Miscellaneous
▪ Rhinolith: Formswhen anintranasal foreign body acts asanidus
upon
▪ which salts from inspissated mucusprecipitate; symptoms include
purulent secretions, recurrent infections, fetid odor, and nasal
obstruction;
▪ canappear asbone-density onCT.
