Unravelling Unilateral Nasal Mass Beyond Allergic Origin: A Detailed Case Series

Abstract

Most patients present with complaints of nasal obstruction1 in Rhinology clinics. Nasal blockages may result from typical viral infections to fatal tumors. Nasal mass on one side provide a diagnostic challenge due to their diverse aetiologies that go beyond allergic reactions. This piece seeks to determine the cause of the same that isn’t allergic. We are presenting a series of 5 cases on the non-allergic origin of unilateral nasal mass presented in ENT OPD in Bhopal, Peoples Collegeof Medical Science & Research Centre from 2022–2023. Anterior rhinoscopy examination with diagnostic nasal endoscopy were performed for every patient. Computed Tomography scan was performed for selected patients. Each patient had a nasal mass biopsy and Histopathological examination reports were studied thoroughly. Among all patients, nasal obstruction was the most common complaint followed by bleeding in the nose. A comprehensive assessment supports the surgeon’s diagnosis, especially in atypical circumstances, and assists in the treatment of the illness as well as in halting its course and associated consequences.
