Antrochoanal polyps are a type of benign nasal polyp that grows from the maxillary sinus and extends into the nasopharynx (back of the nose) through the choana. This polyp is characterized by unilateral growth and is often found in young adults. The purpose of this study was to describe the profile of antrochoanal polyp patients at Dr. Soetomo Hospital, Surabaya in 2022. This type of research is descriptive retrospective. The study was conducted for one year, namely with a research period from January to December 2022. Sampling was carried out by total sampling. Results: The most common gender is male, 11 people (68.75%). The most common age of polyp sufferers is 11-20 years, 10 people (62.5%). The most common clinical symptoms are nasal congestion and rhinorrhea, 16 people (100%). Complaints felt before treatment mostly ranged from 1 to 3 years, 10 people (62.5%). Comorbidities in antrochoanal polyps in the form of a history of allergies and septal deviation were the same, 2 people each (12.5%). The main management of antrochoanal polyps is surgery. As many as 15 patients had inflammatory polyp results (93.75%). Conclusion: The profile of antrochoanal polyp patients who underwent surgery at Dr. Soetomo Hospital showed a ratio of male and female patients of 2.2: 1, with the largest age group at 11-20 years. The most common main clinical symptoms were nasal congestion and rhinorrhea. Complaints felt lasted before treatment ranging from 1 to 3 years. The most common location of the nose affected was the left nose. Concomitant diseases of allergy history and septum deviation were equally common. The most common type of surgery performed was BSEF. The most common histopathology result was inflammatory polyp.
