===Microscopic description=== | |||
The sections show a moderately vascular stromal lesion consisting of collagen and fibrin. It is covered by benign respiratory-type epithelium with cilia, and has benign serous and mucinous glands. The epithelium is partially eroded and shows evidence of regeneration; the subepithelial tissue shows focal hypervascularity and minimal lymphocytic infiltration. Normal cartilage is present. There are no appreciable number of neutrophils and one very small cluster of eosinophils. | |||
===Final diagnosis=== | |||
A. Nasal mass, left anterior, excision - Benign fibrous polyp. | |||
