J Laryngol Otol. 1996 Mar;110(3):272-4. doi: 10.1017/s0022215100133390.

Abstract

In this paper we present the first ever reported case of simultaneously occurring bilateral antrochoanal polyps in a fit 12-year-old child. The antrochoanal polyps (ACP) were removed using functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) which achieved complete cure. Histological analysis of the polyps showed them to be of benign inflammatory origin.
