Nasal tumors – causes, side effects and treatments at NaturalPedia.com

Nasal tumors are benign or malignant growths located in the nose or the sinuses. In most cases, nasal tumors are benign. However, in some cases, they are malignant. Most nasal tumors grow in the maxillary sinus, while some of these tumors are found in the nasal cavities. In some cases, nasal tumors are also found in the ethmoid sinus. The paranasal sinuses are small hollow spaces around the nose. They are lined with cells that produce mucus, which keeps the nose from drying out.

The risk factors for nasal tumors include the following:
