These include nasal tumor, nasal papilloma, polypoid rhinosinusitis, and chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis. Nasal polyps are often associated with symptoms such as difficulty breathing, runny nose, and loss of smell. Treatment for nasal polyps may include medication, nasal sprays, or surgery.
