Abstract
Significance statement: Pregnancy-related giant nasal masses often present a diagnostic challenge and clinical dilemma due to the obvious restrictions in utilizing imaging and general anesthesia during pregnancy. Therefore, we highlight the importance of clinical judgment, especially during pregnancy, and should not disregard certain clinical cues. In addition, we recommend an in-office polypectomy for giant nasal polyps worsening during pregnancy and nasal steroids to optimize their quality of life while avoiding systemic medications or further interventions.
