Chronic sinusitis with nasal polyposis historically has been treated as a single monolithic clinical disorder. Just as asthma is now accepted as numerous heterogeneous diseases, chronic sinusitis should also be viewed as comprising several diseases with varying causes, with each one characterized by distinct histologic and gene and protein expression patterns. This includes recognition of the need to define these diseases based on the presence or absence of an eosinophilic infiltrate but also on additional distinctions based on unique agents that drive their development and perpetuation. As a collection of heterogeneous diseases, proper differential diagnosis is required to delineate appropriate therapeutic intervention. This review will focus on recognized distinct presentations of chronic sinus disease, including distinguishing the clinical presentations, cellular and molecular characteristics, genetic differences, and current treatment options for each.
