The frequency of occurrence of anthrachoanal polyps in adults is 4–6 %. The prevalence of this type of pathology among children, according to the literature, is 5 times higher than among the adult population (up to 33 %). In the available literary sources there are various descriptions of the histological structure of anthrohoanal polyps, however, systematic data on this issue are not available. The aim of the study was to describe the histological variants of anthrachoanal polyps in pediatric patients. The result of the study was the selection of histological types of anthrachoanal polyps in patientsof different age groups. The article presents a study of 30 patients aged from 11 to 17 years old who were admitted for planned surgical treatment for antichroanal polyps. The result of the study was the description of 3 types of anthrachoidal polyps. Eosinophilic polyps were detected in 40 % of cases, the patients’ age varied from 11 to 15 years. Fibro-inflammatory type of antrochoanalous polyps occurred in 13.4 % of patients aged 12 to 17 years. Polyps with the presence of glands with mucus hypersecretion were found in 23.3 % of patients aged 12–16 years. In our study, polyps with stromal atypia in patients were not identified.
