And she has sinus problem also they recommended her CT Scan and honey comb is spread in her head and neck as well. with biopsy they detected its not harmfull but they are still suggesting her some more tests n to see some allergic specialist. we just want to know if this is some kind of tumor or is this kind of allergy can be treated?can this effect her brain in future because her ears are already infected? what precautions can be taken? regards RJ

Hello,
It is my pleasure to help you,
As this patient is having some growth in the nose and confirmed that it is not a polyp but there are other conditions which may have these symptoms.
Inverted papilloma
Hemangioma
Osteoma
Fibrous dysplasia
Angiofibroma
These are the some of the conditions presenting with growth in nose.Some of the conditions are precipitated by allergy.
Definitely this patient requires thorough investigation for diagnosis of the growth and then you can proceed with the treatment.
Thank you.
