Nature of Nasal Polyps among Adults in Al Kharj City: A Retrospective Study

Background: Clinical and radiographic criteria are used to diagnose nasal polyps, but histopathologic examination is necessary for a definitive diagnosis.There are numerous categories for the histological classification of nasal polyps.The aim of this study was to identify the histological subtypes of nasal polyps in adult patients in Al Kharj city.Material and Methods: Fifty-one individuals who had surgery to remove nasal polyps between January 2024 and June 2025, and whose diagnoses were verified by histological analysis, were the subject of a retrospective study based on hospital information.Males made up more than half (58.8%) of the patients.Inflammatory or allergic polyps were found in most cases (52.9%).Inverted papilloma was found in 21 cases (41.2%).Of the 51 cases, only 3 were malignant.Conclusion: Uupon histological inspection, the nasal polyps primarily exhibit an inflammatory or allergic pattern.Histopathological examination of a resected nasal polyp is often necessary to establish the definitive diagnosis, as it is challenging to detect the pathology of a nasal mass clinically.(InternationalJournal of Biomedicine.
