Presentation
Abstract We present the clinical case of a polyp in the hypopharynx discovered incidentally while performing an upper digestive endoscopy in a middle aged woman. [elsevier.es]
A 74-year-old female presented with a 3-month history of right-sided nasal obstruction was presented. Although it is infrequently, the possibility of pleomorphic… CONTINUE READING [semanticscholar.org]
More than 50% of patients with hypopharyngeal cancer have clinically positive cervical nodes at the time of presentation. In 50% of these individuals, a neck mass is the presenting symptom. [es.oncolink.org]

[…] cancerous ( malignant ) through a process known as tumor progression. [6] For this reason and other possible negative health effects, some benign tumors are removed by surgery. [7] Signs and symptoms [ edit ] Benign tumors are very diverse, and may be asymptomatic [en.wikipedia.org]

Gastrointestinal
- Regurgitation
When large polypoid formations regurgitate to the mouth, the diagnosis is simpler. 3 However, these are often non-specific discomforts, occasionally mislabelled as functional, which require complementary studies. [elsevier.es]
Treatment
Expert-reviewed information summary about the treatment of adult hypopharyngeal cancer. [es.oncolink.org]
Keywords: Nasal pathologies, differential diagnosis, treatment Objectives Primary tumors of nasal cavity are classified as benign and malignant or epithelial and non-epithelial tumors. [dergipark.org.tr]
If you have been diagnosed with a tumor, the first step your doctor will take is to find out whether it is malignant or benign, as this will affect your treatment plan. [verywellhealth.com]
In some case other treatments may be of use. [en.wikipedia.org]
Nevi, or moles, are types of benign tumors that may never need treatment. Other types of benign tumors include: Adenomas : These bumps form on the surfaces of G-I tract. [cancercenter.com]
Prognosis
Delay in the diagnosis of malignant pathology significantly worse prognosis. [dergipark.org.tr]
In a retrospective study, a total volume of metastatic disease of more than 100 cm3 indicated a particularly poor prognosis. [es.oncolink.org]

Etiology
Nasal cavity tumors among the factors that play a role in the etiology of prolonged contact with wood dust, cigarette and tobacco use habits can be considered. [dergipark.org.tr]

Prevention
Also, some types of benign tumors such as intestinal polyps are considered precancerous and are removed to prevent them becoming malignant. Benign tumors usually don't recur once removed, but if they do it is usually in the same place. [verywellhealth.com]
Some damaged genes may also prevent bad cells from killing themselves to make room for new, healthy cells. "The regulation of cell death so important," Dr. Garcia says. [cancercenter.com]
