Nasal and paranasal tumors encompass a range of abnormal growths found in the nasal cavity and the surrounding sinus areas. These tumors can be benign or malignant and may originate from various tissues, including the epithelial lining or underlying connective tissues. Common types include squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, and sinonasal lymphoma. Symptoms often include nasal congestion, bleeding, pain, or a noticeable mass. Depending on the tumor’s type and stage, treatment may involve surgery, radiation therapy, or chemotherapy. Accurate diagnosis is typically achieved through imaging studies like CT or MRI scans and biopsy procedures. Early detection and treatment are crucial for improving prognosis and minimizing the impact on nasal and sinus function.
