The polyps in my nose were recently removed as part of treatment for my chronic cold and catarrh. I want to know if the polyps can also be cancerous.

Nasal polyps are soft, teardrop-shaped, abnormal growths on the tissue lining your sinuses or nasal passages. They’re often associated with symptoms such as a runny nose or nasal congestion. These painless growths are not usually a sign of cancer. Most often, they are benign (noncancerous). However, it is important for the polyps removed from you to be sent for histology to rule out cancer.
