Abstract
We found that it was always better to perform biopsies targeted on macroscopic lesions. When there was no lesion, samples from paranasal sinuses obtained under GA had the highest diagnostic value in the head and neck region, whereas 90% of nasal systematic biopsies performed under LA were nonspecific. Moreover, we demonstrated that performing two further sections increased the sensitivity of histological examination by 7%.
