Abstract
Polypoid adenomas are usually observed in the most anterior part of the nasal cavity (Kerns et al. 1983 a, b). They may vary in size from small microscopic nodules to masses large enough to protrude from the nares and may cause dyspnea. While the adenomas are noninvasive, larger ones may cause obstruction of the nasolacrimal duct or induce pressure atrophy of adjacent structures. In formalin-fixed decalcified coronal sections, the tumor appears as a solid, whitish gray mass (Fig. 66).
