Where can you find pictures of nasal polyps?

Pictures of nasal polyps can be found on medical websites such as Medscape, MedicineNet and MedlinePlus. A general Internet search can yield numerous sites that compile pictures of these polyps.

Nasal polyps are benign, teardrop-shaped growths that form in the nose or sinuses. They usually form around the area where the sinuses open into the nasal cavity. Small nasal polyps often have no noticeable symptoms and generally do not require treatment. Larger nasal polyps may require treatment as they can block normal drainage from the sinuses leading to accumulation of mucus and potentially leading to infection, explains WebMD.
