are allergic type (type I) is the most common (62%).
Keywords: allergic, polyposis
Abstrak: Cara pengobatan terhadap polypolis sampai saat ini belum memuaskan. Tingkat

INTRODUCTION
Polyposis management unsatisfied until

now. Its recurrence still high in patient who
under gone medicine or surgery management.
1,2,3
Dhaeng (1996) found 51 cases (25,49 %),
who have undergone more than once
operation and 76,92 % are allergic polyposis
4
(tipe I). Soetjipto (2005) found recurrence 13
5
from 73 cases (17,8 %). Recurrence of
polyposis influence by allergy, so it have to
6,7
detect the polyp type.
Nasal polyposis is chronic inflamation of
nasal mucous has been known since 3000
8,9,10
years ago.
It is 1,3 % populations in East
11
Europe and 1-4 % in North America.

Data
from allergic – immunology Department
Indonesian University reveal that nasal
12
polyposis 2,7 % from 110 alergic rhinitis.
Hellquist (1996) define 4 polyposis
histopathology are alergic polyp (type I), fibro
inflamatory polyp (type II), seromucin
glandula hyperplasia polyp (type III) and
13
polyp with atipical stroma (type IV). Several
researches prove that type I is the most
common cases. Vogels (2001) found type I
94,8 % from 39 cases and Bucholtz (1999)
9,14
found 69 % from 16 cases.
While

Mangunkusumo (2004) found most common
12

type II (74,2 %).
Definite etiologi still unknown. There are
many theory has been presented but it is not
satisfied yet. The theory are allergic, infection
15,16
and Bernaulli theory.
MATERIAL AND METHOD
This research is cross section method was
done in ENT Department Medicine Faculty
North Sumatera University/Adam Malik
Hospital. Sample is patient come to the Hospital
with diagnosis nasal and sinuses paranasal
polyposis from Maret 2004 to February 2005.
Polyposis mass that take durante operation send to
Pathology Anatomi Department, Faculty of
Medicine North Sumatera University.
RESULT
We found 26 patients polyposis nasal and
sinus paranasal

The commonest histopathologic type is
type I are 16 cases (62 %).
DISCUSION
We have sample 26 consist of male 17 (65
%) and female 9 (35 %) with ratio 1,8 : 1.
Appropriate with another researches that
male more than female. Voegels (2001) and
Soetjipto (2005) found ratio male and female
5,9

1,8 : 1. Suheryanto (1999) found 3 : 1.

(1995) found similar sex ratio 1 : 1. Presence
difference sex ratio may be because difference
sample each research.
The most common age group is 35–44
years old (30 %). The youngest age is 10 years
old and the oldest is 54 years old. Appropriate
with another research that more than 30 and
19
rare under 20 years old. Dowel (1992) found
the youngest is 14 years old and oldest 78
15
years old. Siregar (1995) found the youngest
18
17 years old and the oldest 50 years old.
Soetjipto found the youngest 12 years old and
5
While
the
oldest
65

years
old.
Mangunkusumo (2004) found the youngest is
12
8 years old and the oldest 74 years old.
Be base on histopathology type and
Hellquist criteria, we found the most common

2

is type I (62 %). This result similar with
Voegels (2001) that the most common is type
9
I (94,8 %) from 39 sample. Like wise
Bucholtz (1999) found the most common
14
type is type I (69 %) from 16 sample. While
Mangunkusumo (2004) found the most
12
common is type II (74,2 %). Some researcher

believe that allergy is the importance factor
9,20
The evidence
for polyposis formation.
allergic factor in polyposis is similar
histopathology polyposis and allergic tissue
such as edema, eosiniphilia in blood and nasal
secret. There any close relation between
polyposis and astma, hay fever, urticaria and
eczema. The another evidence that more case
polyposis cure after avoidance allergent and
4,8
hyposensitization. Some researchers found
that eosinophil is predominant in nasal
polyposis. Be base on this fact polyposis
research tend to eosinophil accumulation in
tissue. In allergic tissue, mucosal iritation
20
make edema and polyp formation.
CONCLUSION
The conclusion are allergic type (type I) is
the most common (62%).
