Yes, polyp in maxillary sinus can be seen with CT of the neck. There is no indication for biopsy of the sinus polyp because sinus polyp is a benign, non-cancerous inflammatory growth. You had CT scan in 2006 and now the polyp may no longer be present, and if it transformed to a malignant growth it would have done so years ago.
