Abstract

This chapter discusses a group of pediatric diseases in the nasal cavity, paranasal sinuses, and the skull base. The clinicopathology basis of the definition of each of them is stated where relevant, and important histology, immunohistopathology, and molecular analyses can be used to diagnose them accurately. The chapter includes only inflammatory, infectious, autoimmune, benign, and malignancies that occur in pediatric patients. While some of these diseases can manifest in these sites specifically, many also occur elsewhere in the body. Knowledge of their existence in the nasal cavity paranasal sinuses and the osseous tissue of the skull base is thus key to their diagnosis.
