Abstract :Primary tumors of the nasal cavity can be classified as benign or malignant. Patients with tumors of the nose and paranasal sinuses are usually diagnosed in the advanced stages of the disease. The aim of this study was to evaluate the data of patients who were operated for sinonasal masses in our clinic in light of the literature. Between January 2016 and December 2018, 357 cases of sinonasal masses presenting to the Otorhinolaryngology Department of the Health Science University at the Samsun Training and Research Hospital were retrospectively screened and included in the study. Of the 357 patients included in the study, 256 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(72%); were male, and 101 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(28%); were female. The most common symptom was nasal obstruction insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(90%);. Most of the benign cases were nasal polyps insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(90.2%);, while the next most frequent diagnosis was inverted papilloma insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(4.7%);. Malign neoplasms were found in 11 cases, and five were found to be squamous cell carcinomas insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(SCC);. All benign cases were treated surgically, and the malignant cases were treated according to the diagnosis. In conclusion, although the symptoms of the 357 patients with sinonasal mass were similar, histopathological evaluation revealed 96.9% benign and 3.1% malign pathologies. The malign/benign ratio was 3.08. Malignancy should therefore be considered as a possibility in patients with nasal bleeding and facial swelling.
