Sinus polyp benign?: Sinus polyp is a common problem with asthma. If the polyp is not large and is not causing blockage of the nasal passage, they can be left alone. Even after surgical removal, there is a high incidence of re-growth of the polyps.

Relax: Ct scan is the preferred method to evaluate nasal polyps. Nasal polyps are almost always benign growths. They can cause blockage of the sinuses and lead to sinus infections, nasal congestion and decreased sense of smell. Nasal polyps can be seen in patients with allergic fungal sinusitis and persons allergic to aspirin.
