ENT SPECIMEN

1. Antrochoanal polyp

Nasal

Antral

Choanal part

Well preserved wet mounted soft tissue specimen which is pale in colour and has
three in parts

-Choanal part: globular in shape, biggest


-Nasal part: Flat
-Antral: stalk, solitary
So it is a specimen of antrochoanal polyp

Qsns-
Why antrochoanal polyp is backward?
Ans: 1. Direction of maxillary sinus is backward
2. Sloping of nasal cavity is backward
3. Nasociliary clearance is backward
4. Inspiratory force is greater than expiratory

Polyp def.

Cause- infection (antrochoanal) ethmoidal- allergy


2. Tonsil

Tonsils

Well preserved specimen which are two in number, almond shaped. One side has capsule and
other side (medial side) has crypts
So it is a post operative specimen of tonsils (chronic parenchymatous tonsil since big)

3. Foreign Bodies

Coins

Specimen of coins
Foreign body in oesophagus, tracheobronchial tree, trachea
Removal: Esophagoscopy under GA
Larynx: tracheostomy (if airway obstruction), laryngoscopy, bronchoscopy
Denture (artificial teeth)

Artificial teeth

FB in food pipe, trachea (rarely)


Radiolucent usually unless and until wire is present
X-ray may not help in diagnosis
History should be taken
Diagnostic esophagoscopy under GA with foreign body forceps
Lateral pharnygoesophagoctomy under GA if foreign body doesn’t come out by esophagoscopy
Fish bone

Fish bone

Radiopaque FB in esophagus
Diagnosis: history, x-ray
Esophagoscopy and remove by foreign body forceps under GA

Maggots
Well preserved soft tissue specimen multiple in number, serrated body, light brown in colour
and tapered in both ends seems to be specimen of maggots (larval stage)
Cause- 1. Atrophic rhinitis
2. Unsafe CSOM
3. Neglected ill maintained tracheostomy wound
4. Ulcerated and necrotizing neck in debilitating patient
Foul smelling, tissue destruction, have tendency to go inside
Symptoms: Irritation, pain

Removal: Chloroform water- forceps, suction


Chloroform water- paralysis of maggots
Terpentine oil- Irritation of maggots

Atrophic rhinitis (maggots’ complication)


-destruction of bone
-encephalitis
-meningitis
-aspiration in tracheobronchial tree
-sinusitis

Genus- chrysomyia

Fish

FB in esophagus
Esophagoscopy under GA
