Conclusion

Imaging characteristics of nasal masses are crucial for narrowing down differential diagnoses before surgery.

Supporting Evidence

  • Nasal endoscopy combined with biopsy remains the definitive diagnostic approach.
  • Imaging studies are essential for evaluating the extent of nasal masses.
  • AI-related approaches hold promise for evaluating sinonasal masses.

Takeaway

Doctors use special pictures of the nose to figure out what kind of lumps are there, which helps them decide how to treat them.

Methodology

This study reviews nasal masses evaluated using CT, CBCT, and MRI, highlighting key imaging features for differential diagnosis.

Limitations

The study is retrospective and may not cover all possible nasal mass presentations.

Participant Demographics

Both male and female patients of all ages were included.
