Summary:Nasal polyps are soft, pink or pearl white outgrowths usually connected with nasal mucosa by flaccid crus. A histological image of nasal polyps indicates significant differences in particular cases. Because of the variety of nasal polyps, the choice of proper laryngological treatment is very difficult. Difficulties in treatment are due to the lack of consensus among physicians regarding the etiopathogenesis of nasal polyps. Probably etiopathogenesis of nasal polyps is not homogeneous and polyps' formation is influenced by many coexisting mechanisms. Key words: Nasal polyps, histology, treatment
