PATHOLOGICAL CHANGES IN ENT ORGANS CAUSED BY SYSTEMIC DISEASES AND DIAGNOSTIC APPROACHES
Main Article Content
Abstract
This review investigates the spectrum of morphological alterations in ENT (ear, nose, throat) tissues induced by systemic diseases, emphasizing modern diagnostic techniques. Systemic conditions such as autoimmune diseases, vasculitis, metabolic disorders, and hematological abnormalities often lead to distinctive tissue changes, including mucosal ulcerations, granulomatous lesions, vascular damage, and fibrosis. Recognizing these pathological features, supported by imaging, serology, and histopathology, enhances early diagnosis, promotes effective treatment strategies, and improves patient care through multidisciplinary collaboration.
