What Does This Biopsy Report Of Nasal Cavity Indicate?
Question: I am having a biopsy on my nasal lumpin nasal cavity please could you show me a benign lump anda malignant one I am very worried I presented with a limp in my nose and later with blocked one side and deviated septum
Brief Answer:
Unless it grows out of size, there is no difference in the look.
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query. I understand how tense it can be but your information is very assuring that this is something that wouldn't constitute a huge problem.
The difference between benign and malignant lumps is made using the microscope and not with the naked eyes. I will suggest that you do not get bothered by this and rather concentrate on getting the biopsy. When the results return, you can ask that your doctors show you the slides but honestly, you would be unable just like myself to understand what the cells mean as this needs a specialist training.
I understand your anxiety, The good news is that in its early stages, irrespective of whether it is benign or malignant,, treatment is always very helpful and treatment almost guarantees a complete cure.
Stat calm, positive and relaxed about this.
Keep me updated about the results and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.

Hi,
I will not want to assume the worst case scenario now. We are doing investigations and would appreciate that you follow through and get the results. When you get them, communicate with me and I will provide my unbiased assessment and suggestions. Don't be hard on yourself, for now, stay positive and let's work with what we have than making it more difficult for ourselves and probably more what it would be in reality.
I hope this helps. Be patient, I know it is difficult but you really need to do something about it.
I wish you well.
