A member asked:
Would an inverted papilloma in the nostril be easily distinguished from cartilage that may protrude?dr. thinks tiny thing on inner wall is cartilage.

Nostril Deformity: At times this may be hard to tell if small. A papilloma will most likely slowly grow whereas a cartilaginous deformity will not.
