Fiberoptic endoscopy has made a notable impact in rhinology over the last decade, mainly in the diagnosis and treatment of paranasal sinus inflammatory disease. The aim of this article is to review, discuss, and illustrate the role of endoscopy in the management of nasal neoplasia. We have reviewed our own experience and illustrate this with four cases. We discuss the role of endoscopy in the diagnosis, biopsy, resection, post-therapeutic surveillance, and palliation of these tumors.
