Recurrent Nasal Polyposis

The diagnosis of cystic fibrosis is important to the otolaryngologist because of the association with chronic sinusitis and nasal polyposis. Eighty-five percent of patients are diagnosed under the age of 15, and diagnosis beyond age 20 is uncommon. We present two patients over 35 years of age in whom the diagnosis of cystic fibrosis was made during the course of workup and treatment for recurrent nasal polyposis and chronic sinusitis. To our knowledge, only one prior such case has been reported. This paper will provide a brief overview of the general aspects of the disease, discuss otolaryngic manifestations and management, and recommend indications for sweat testing in the adult.

Recurrent Nasal Polyposis

Plasmablastic lymphoma (PBL) is an aggressive, rare variant of B-cell lymphoma typically associated with human immunodeficiency virus and other immunocompromised populations. Most commonly found in the oral cavity, PBL can occasionally originate in the sinonasal tract. Diagnosis of PBL is difficult due to overlapping features with other malignancies; however, early detection and treatment are imperative given its aggressive clinical course. When in the sinonasal tract, the diagnostic process can be further complicated if the patient has a history of recurrent nasal polyposis. Described is the case of a 57-year-old immunocompetent male who initially presented with benign nasal polyposis, only to return a year after sinus surgery with a unilateral sinonasal mass consistent with PBL. As literature has yet to characterize this phenomenon, this article presents the first case reported of sinonasal PBL arising in the setting of recurrent nasal polyposis. This case emphasizes the importance of investigating sinonasal masses showing laterality, maintaining a high index of suspicion for malignancy, and keeping close surveillance of the patient after treatment of PBL.

Recurrent Nasal Polyposis

Woakes’ syndrome (WS) is a rare entity, defined as severe recalcitrant nasal polyposis with consecutive deformity of the nasal pyramid. WS occurs mainly in childhood and its aetiology remains unclear. We report a case of a 68-year old woman, with aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease, who presented with recurrent nasal polyposis and progressive broadening of the nasal dorsum. CT scan revealed extensive bilateral nasal polyposis and diffuse osteitis, with anterior ethmoidal calcified lesions. The patient underwent revision endoscopic sinus surgery and nasal pyramid deformity was successfully managed without osteotomies.

Recurrent Nasal Polyposis

AbstractAcoustic rhinometry is a new method which describes the geometry of the nasal cavity and the epipharynx. The method, based on the reflection of an acoustic signal entered into the nasal cavity, can be used to evaluate the cross-sectional area of the nasal cavity asa function of distance from the nostril. The method has, together with nasal expiratory peak flow (NPF) and nasal index based upon a self assessment score, been used to evaluate, in an objective and dynamic way, the effect of systemic treatment of nasal polyps with steroids in a series of eight patients with recurrent nasal polyposis. The study shows a significant relationship between these three parameters before and after systemic treatment of nasal polyps with steroids. It is concluded that in this study acoustic rhinometry had an accurate and objective method for measuring the geometry of the nasal cavity before and after treatment for processes which block the nasal cavity.
