ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND Nose and paranasal sinuses tumors are diseases easily identifiable that may be found in a routine exploration and some of them are fortuitous findings. OBJECTIVE To identify that kind of tumors and groups of age most common localized in nose and paranasal sinuses. PARTICIPANTS AND METHODS Ear, nose and throat patology files were reviewed from January 1993 to December 1997, in order to corroborate each patient tumor origin. RESULTS A hundred twenty-four patient tumors were detected, 89 benign tumors, 35 malignant tumors. Inflammatory polyps were the benign tumors most common identified, while lymphoma was the most malignant tumor often described. Benign tumors were predominantly found in patients from the third to sixth living decade. Malignant tumors were principally found on the sixth living decade. Significant differences were not found about gender prevalence in both kinds of tumors. There is a major incidence of juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma cases in our country than in foreign populations. In this study the group of age most affected by nasal and paranasal sinuses tumors was from age 40 to 59.
