| − | ===Progressive ethmoidal haematoma===
| |
| − | | |
| − | *Slowly expanding non-neoplastic mass of horses
| |
| − | *Originates from submucosa of ethmoidal labyrinth
| |
| − | *Either from nasal or sinusal portion of ethmoid labyrinth
| |
| − | *Unilateral, can extend to nostrils or choanae
| |
| − | *Rarely elsewhere in sinuses
| |
| − | *Expands to nasal cavity, [[Paranasal Sinuses Hyperplastic and Neoplastic - Pathology|paranasal sinuses]], [[Nasopharynx Hyperplastic and Neoplastic - Pathology|nasopharynx]] causing destruction of tissue
| |
| − | *Micro - haemorrhage, calcification of connective tissue fibres
| |
| − | *[[Aspergillus spp.|''Aspergillus'' spp.]] may be present on the lesion
| |
| − | *May cause [[Respiratory System Clinical Signs - Pathology#Epistaxis|epistaxis]]

| − | ===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
| |
