ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND
Tumors arising at the nose and paranasal sinuses are a very common condition found on the otorhinolaryngologic practice; their consequences may even impact on the patient’s life.

OBJECTIVE
To know the incidence and the most frequent symptoms of this kind of neoplams that were treated on our department with endoscopic surgery.

PATIENTS AND METHODS
On this retrospective, observational, descriptive and longitudinal study, 62 patients who were assessed and treated from 1995 to 2003 were included. Descriptive statistics were used with frequency distribution and central tendency and dispersion measures.

RESULTS
The most commonly found symptoms were nasal obstruction, nasal discharge and itching, while at the histopathological examination, the most common diagnoses were nasal and antrochoanal polyps as well as inverted nasal papilloma.

CONCLUSIONS
The most common symptoms were nasal obstruction followed by rhinorrhea. This has correlation with the literature regarding the nasosinusal neoplastic disease.
