    Abstract Knowledge of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) has increased rapidly over the past decade. However, the study of the histological features of nasal polyps has not gone hand in hand with the study of the inflammatory mechanisms underlying CRSwNP. Indeed, precisely because they are benign neoformations, nasal polyps have not attracted the attention of pathologists over the years. Nasal cytology has shown that CRSwNP, generally defined as a Type-2 disease, is characterized not only by eosinophilic but also mast cell inflammation and, in particular, the most severe forms of CRSwNP are precisely characterized by a mixed eosinophilic-mast cell inflammation. Interestingly, mast cells cannot be visualized by histology due to limitations in staining and magnification, and therefore are not commonly described in histological reports of nasal polyps. However, immunohistochemistry can highlight these latter cells and specifically this technique has recently demonstrated that mast cells are located in the lamina propria of almost all types of polyps and in the epithelial level of the most severe forms. Unfortunately, the latter technique is not commonly carried out in clinical practice by virtue of the high cost and time burden. On the other hand, nasal cytology is an easy-to-apply and economic diagnostic tool, commonly practiced in rhinological setting, which can effectively fill the gap between histology and immunohistochemistry, allowing to non-invasively establish the endotype of nasal polyps and to highlight all cytotypes, including mast cells, that cannot be visualized by the other two techniques. The recent demonstration of the close correlation between mast cell intraepithelial infiltrate and CRSwNP severity paves the way for new therapeutic possibilities aimed at reducing not only eosinophilic infiltration but also mast cell infiltration.

    Abstract Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis (CRSwNP) is a common disorder. From a clinical and immunopathological point of view, different phenotypes and endotypes have been identified. As asthma is frequent comorbidity, biological agents for treating CRSwNP associated with asthma may be an attractive strategy. Biological agents have several mechanisms, such as antagonizing IgE, interleukin (IL) 4, IL-5, and IL-13. However, a workup is mandatory, mainly concerning pheno-endotyping. In this regard, clinical cytological grading (CCG) has been proposed as a useful tool to manage patients with CRSwNP as it allows us to define clinical and immunopathological phenotypes able to identify the ideal candidate for biologics. In particular, the mixed cellular pattern, such as eosinophils and mast cells, could be sensitive to anti-IL-4 agents. There is still a need for well-established indications, criteria of responsiveness, duration, and safety. Moreover, personalized medicine could be opportunely integrated and/or alternated with intranasal corticosteroids to prevent relevant adverse events.

    Abstract Background: Biologic agents are considered a new revolutionized therapy for severe and recurrent forms of CRSwNP which disease burden is not sufficiently controlled by conservative and/or surgical treatments. Recent Research has focused on evaluating their real-life efficacy in CRSwNP, as only limited reports on real-life data are available. However, in most studies, the response to treatment is evaluated in terms of improvement in Nasal Polyp Score (NPS) or in Sino-Nasal Outcome test (SNOT-22) scores. However, both criteria do not consider nasal immunophlogosis, which can be easily assessed by nasal cytology. The aim of our study was to evaluate changings in the nasal inflammatory infiltrate of CRSwNP patients treated with Dupilumab for 12 months.
    Methods: 27 patients suffering from severe CRSwNP treated with Dupilumab were recruited. Nasal cytology findings, NPS, SNOT-22, ACT scores and blood eosinophil count at T0 (before treatment) and at T1 (after 1 year of treatment) were compared.
    Results: After 1 year of biological therapy with Dupilumab, NPS, SNOT-22 and, among the 17 asthmatic patients, ACT scores improved significantly. At T1, a statistically significant percentage of patients showed negative citology. Moreover, a significant reduction in the mast cell-eosinophilic pattern and an increase of neutrophils and bacteria was reported.
    Conclusions: The response to treatment can be considered both in the case of negative nasal cytology and in the case of the appearance of neutrophils and bacteria. In this context, eosinophils, the specific target of biological therapies, play a crucial role in regulating tissue homeostasis and, consequently, the nasal immunophlogosis.
