Question : Good morning
Please give advice on the attached reports

Answered by Dr. Deepak Sundriyal (1 hour later)

Brief Answer:
Patient requires further evaluation

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear.
I have gone through the reports.

So by aspiration it seems a malignancy. However for definite diagnosis, a biopsy will be required. On biopsy it may turn out to be either lymphoma or carcinoma. As treatment is different for both, a biopsy is must. In both cases it looks curable. So go ahead with biopsy.

Thanks

What is lymphoma and what is catcinoma

Answered by Dr. Deepak Sundriyal (29 minutes later)

Brief Answer:
hello. These are different types of tumors

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear. Lymphoma is a tumor that arises from lymphatic cells. Carcinoma is also another types of tumor that arises from epithelial cells. The nasal cavity contains both lymphatic cells as well as epithelial cells , hence both lymphoma and carcinoma can arise from there. Hence it is very important to correctly identify these tumors as treatment is different for both.
Thanks and regards
