Benign Nasal Tumours at Sheikh Shakhbout Medical City in Abu Dhabi: A Comprehensive Approach to Treatment and Care

Benign nasal tumours are among the most common nasal conditions, affecting millions of people worldwide. These non‑cancerous growths arise within the nasal cavity and may cause troublesome symptoms such as nasal obstruction, difficulty breathing, snoring, loss of sense of smell and facial pain.

At Sheikh Shakhbout Medical City (SSMC), the Department of Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery (ENT) provides comprehensive medical and surgical care for benign nasal tumours, delivered by a team of highly experienced subspecialist physicians using the latest medical technologies and contemporary treatments.

Symptoms

Symptoms of benign nasal tumours vary from person to person. Common symptoms may include:

• Persistent or recurrent nasal obstruction
• Breathing difficulty, particularly during sleep
• Watery or mucoid nasal discharge
• Loss or reduction of sense of smell
• Facial pain or headache
• A sensation of pressure in the nose or paranasal sinuses
• Snoring

Diagnosis

Diagnosis is based on specialist assessment, which includes a physical examination of the nose and paranasal sinuses. Additional investigations may be requested, such as:

• Nasal endoscopy: This examination enables detailed visualisation of the nasal cavity to determine the location and size of the tumours
• Computed tomography (CT): This imaging modality provides three‑dimensional views of the nose and paranasal sinuses, supporting accurate assessment of tumour size and location

Treatment

Treatment options depend on symptom severity and the patient’s overall condition. Options may include:

• Medical therapy: Antihistamines and decongestants may be used to provide temporary symptom relief
• Endoscopic surgery: A minimally invasive procedure used to remove benign nasal tumours without conventional open surgery, reducing recovery time and complications
• Conventional surgery: Reserved for cases that do not respond to medical therapy or endoscopic approaches
