  • Abstract Inflammatory diseases of the nose and paranasal sinus are commonly encountered in diagnostic histopathology. This review describes the possible manifestations of the common diseases as well as highlighting some of the uncommon causes of sinonasal inflammation which may have importance for treatment and prognosis. The diagnosis of fungal sinusitis is primarily histological. It is important to distinguish between invasive and non-invasive fungal sinusitis, the latter including allergic fungal sinusitis characterized by ‘allergic mucin’ and scanty fungal hyphae. Nasal eosinophilia is a feature of both allergic and non-allergic rhinosinusitis and a wide range of secondary changes in inflammatory polyps may lead to diagnostic confusion. Nasal biopsies are often taken from perforations or inflammatory masses to confirm or exclude granulomatous diseases. There is a broad differential diagnosis for granulomatous sinonasal disease and pathologists should appreciate the diagnostic histological and clinical features of these conditions.
