What Do The Following Pituitary MRI Scan Results Indicate?
Biopsy helps in making diagnosis
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX thanks for asking from HCM.
I can understand your concern. The doctor's advise to biopsy the adenoids could be due to many reasons like
: Some mass lesion due to chronic infection e.g. fungal
: Bengin tumor
: Nasal polyp
: Cancer
: Hypertrophied mucosa
So it is not necessary that it is only doubt of cancer. If cancer is the cause, then you will be having
: Bleeding through nose, painless, spontaneous
: Foul smell
: weight loss
: Loss of appetite
: generalised weakness
: Large mass obstructing the nostrils
: Rapid growth of the mass
In case of fever, pain in nostrils, pus discharge, long duration of symptoms, history of allergy, cancer is unlikely.
Hope you will understand my point. Thanks. Take care.
If still in doubt, do let me know.
