Polyps of the gall-bladder has long been a serious diagnostic problem. Their detection in routine ultrasound is not yet satisfactory and often does not allow you to select the proper method of operating the gall-bladder. The aim of the study was to assess the accuracy of ultrasound diagnosis of polypoid lesions of the gall-bladder through its verification by histopathology in patients treated with cholecystectomy. Material and methods. In the years 2010-2013, 1196 patients underwent surgery due to diseases of the gall-bladder at the Department of General and Transplant Surgery, Medical University in Łódź. The study evaluated the sensitivity of ultrasound in detecting polyps of the gallbladder and histopathological findings of the formulations investigated. Results. Preoperative ultrasound examination (USG) revealed a polypoid lesion in 64 patients; only in 29 of them (44.6%) this diagnosis was confirmed by histopathological examination. In the other cases, cholecystolithiasis or inflammatory lesions were found. The most common histopathological findings included cholesterol polyps, adenomatous polyps, and inflammatory polyps. Malignant lesions (gall-bladder cancer) were found in five patients preoperatively diagnosed with a polypoid lesion, i.e 7.8% of patients preoperatively diagnosed with a polyp and 0.4% of all patients who received surgical treatment. Patients qualified for surgery due to polyps diagnosed by means of ultrasound examination constitued 5.4% of all patients who underwent cholecystectomy. On histopathological examination, the presence of polyps was confirmed in 2.4% patients treated with excision of the gall-bladder. Conclusions. Detection of gall-bladder polyp on ultrasound examination is an indication for cholecystectomy, in particular when the polyp diameter exceeds 10 mm. In each case of a polyp, cholecystolithiasis should also be taken into account and the presence (or absence) of indications for cholecystectomy should be discussed with the patient

Preface: angiomatous nasal type polyps (SAP ‒ sinonasal angiomatous polyp) are benign lesions. The clinical and radiological picture of SAP may suggest other diseases of the nose and paranasal sinuses. Diagnostic imaging is based on computed tomography and magnetic resonance. SAP treatment involves their surgical removal. A case report: he aim of the study is to present diagnostic and therapeutic difficulties in a 17-year-old female patient with an inflammatory polyposis of the angiomatous of the paranasal sinuses. The course of disease, diagnostic difficulties and its treatment are presented. No complications were observed during hospitalization and in the postoperative period. Summary: SAP is one of the types of nasal polyps characterized in the histological picture of vascular proliferation with the presence of blood clots. Accurate diagnostic and histological diagnostics allow to determine the final diagnosis and differentiation of SAP with nasal and sinus hyperplasia.

Lymphangiomatous polyps of the palatine tonsil are a rare clinical entity with only about 30 odd cases ever reported. All the cases in the literature were described as unilateral tonsillar diseases, except for one paediatric case which had bilateral tonsillar involvement. Due to its unilateral presentation and suspicious appearance similar to tonsillar malignancy, lymphangiomatous polyps may cause heightened anxiety to both patients and doctors alike on a routine oropharyngeal examination. Owing to its rarity and a variety of complex nomenclatures, this condition may also be confusing to the treating otolaryngologist as well as junior pathologist. We report an extremely rare case of bilateral tonsillar lymphangiomatous polyps in a snoring child that was successfully treated surgically via tonsillectomy.

Polipy o charakterze naczyniaka chłonnego migdałka podniebiennego są w praktyce klinicznej odnotowywane bardzo rzadko – dotychczas opisano jedynie około 30 przypadków. Zazwyczaj stwierdzano jednostronne zmiany w obrębie migdałka podniebiennego, tylko u jednego dziecka migdałki były zajęte obustronnie. Polipy o charakterze naczyniaka chłonnego mogą budzić zaniepokojenie pacjenta oraz lekarza ze względu na umiejscowienie po jednej stronie oraz wygląd przypominający nowotwór migdałka. Zważywszy na rzadkość występowania oraz różnorodność nazewnictwa jednostka ta może być również trudna do rozpoznania zarówno dla otolaryngologa, jak i niedoświadczonego patologa. Przedstawiamy niezwykle rzadki przypadek obustronnych polipów migdałka o charakterze naczyniaka chłonnego u dziecka z problemem chrapania, u którego skuteczny okazał się zabieg tonsillektomii.
