There are many different kinds of histological types of nasal masses. But there were few studies based on the clinical considerationof benign nasal neoplasms in comparison with its histologic types. In this study we compare and analyze the benign nasalneoplasm in wish to guide for a diagnosis and management. Twenty- seven patients with benign nasal neoplasms excludinginverted papilloma, antrochoanal polyp and dentigenous cyst from March 1996 and June 2003 were selected for this study. Theirclinicopathologic records were reviewed retrospectively. The male-female ratio was 1：1.25 and the right to left ratio was 1：1.7. Bening nasal neoplasms were frequently found in the fifth decade. Hemangioma was the most common benign nasal neoplasm. Nasal obstruction was the most common symptom. Benign nasal masses were frequently found at the inferior turbinateand vestibule. When the masses were found, they were smaller than 1 cm in most cases. An endoscopic and transnasal approachwas the most commonly utilized approach method during surgery. There were no recurrent cases during the average 41 monthsfollow up. In conclusion, there is no statistical significance between benign nasal neoplasm and the patient’s sex and age. But,they were frequently found in left side rather than the right side. Surgical treatment seemed to be extremely useful in the caseof benign nasal neoplasms. KCI Citation Count: 0
