===Nasal neoplasia in general===
  −
 
  −
*Majority are malignant, locally invasive but do not metastasise
  −
*Usually pale, soft, fleshy or friable
  −
*May be [[Bones Hyperplastic and Neoplastic - Pathology|osteoma or osteosarcoma, chondroma or chondrosarcoma]], fibroma or fibrosarcoma, myxoma or myxosarcoma, haemangioma or haemangiosarcoma, adenoma or adenocarcinoma

===Nasal polyps===
  −
 
  −
*Polypoid thickening of the inflamed nasal musosa, hyperplastic epithelium
  −
*Pinkish, often pedunculated masses, round, often large and multiple proturberences into the nasal meatus
  −
*Can arise subsequently to [[Rhinitis#Chronic rhinitis|chronic inflammation]]
  −
*Old polyps may becoma fibrous
  −
*May recur when excised
  −
*Necessary to distinguish from neoplasia
  −
*Common in cats, less often in dogs, also horses and sheep
  −
*Also see [[Nasal Cavity Hyperplastic and Neoplastic - Pathology#Progressive ethmoidal haematoma|Progressive haematoma]] of horses and [[Nasopharynx Hyperplastic and Neoplastic - Pathology#Nasopharyngeal polyps of cats|Nasopharyngeal polyps]] of cats

  −
 
  −
*Mimic infection or neoplasms
