Article Synopsis
- The review focuses on the importance of histopathological analysis of tissue samples in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) to enhance understanding and treatment options.
- It highlights that the severity of CRSwNP correlates with factors like eosinophil levels in nasal polyps, and discusses ongoing debates over biopsy methods and sample locations.
- A pragmatic checklist has been proposed by a panel of experts to standardize tissue analysis, improve communication among healthcare providers, and help identify CRSwNP subtypes for better-targeted therapies.

We report a mixed DM on the scalp of an 88-year-old woman imitating an atypical fibroxanthoma.
