Abstract
In this prospective study, comprising of 30 cases, various benign tumours, both common and rare are compiled. The cases were selected in the OPD of Kempegowda institute of medical sciences, one of the tertiary referral centres in Bangalore. The sample consists of patients in the age group 9 months to 60 years. The study also compares sex differences,symptomatology and the relative incidence of various rumours. The commonest site was nasal cavity, followed by paranasal sinuses and external nose. They occur commonly in second and third decades with predominance in males. Epithelial tumours were less common when compared to non epithelial tumours. All masses should be subjected to histopathological examination for proper management All cases should be followed up for as long as two years for better assessment treatment and response.
