Hi,
Thanks for contacting HCM
You have Right nasal mass with deviated nasal septum towards left, definitely it requires the CT PNS to characterize the mass.
CT PNS- A computed tomography (CT) scan is an imaging method that uses x-rays to create pictures of cross-sections of the Paranasal Sinuses.
Mode of treatment depends on the CT finding.
Thanks
