summary

I believe we all want to know the classification of nasal polyps. Nasal polyps are highly edematous loose connective tissue, and the tissue space is obviously enlarged. Now let me share the classification of nasal polyps with you.

Classification of nasal polyps

Allergic polyps are usually bilateral multiple. If the cause of allergy cannot be removed, the polyps will recur after resection. Besides obvious edema, there are a lot of eosinophilic leukocytes infiltration, obvious thickening of basement membrane (hyaline change) and metaplasia of epithelium

Inflammatory polyps are unilateral or single polyps, which are mostly caused by local infection. They are not easy to recur after resection. Edema is slight, and exudative inflammatory cells are mainly neutrophils and monocytes. Epithelial metaplasia and basement membrane thickening are rare, which can be distinguished from allergic polyps

The polyp of posterior nostril is a clinical name because it has a long pedicle extending from the nasal cavity to the nasopharynx through the posterior nostril, In fact, generally there will be no malignant transformation

matters needing attention

1. Small polyps are mainly treated by internal medicine. 2. Functional endoscopic sinus surgery is performed for patients with ineffective drug treatment. 3. Routine surgery is performed for multiple or recurrent polyps. I hope this classification of nasal polyps can help you.
