Abstract :

Inverted papilloma is a benign epithelial neoplasm that arises within underlying stroma of the nasal cavity and less commonly paranasal sinuses.Ward first documented the occurrence of inverted papilloma in the sinonasal cavity.[3]  It is relatively uncommon, accounting for less than 4% of mucosal tumors in this region. The tumor is well known for its invasiveness, tendency to recur and association with malignancy. Reingertz histologically described the nature of the tumor and noted its classic inverted nature in underlying connective tissue stroma.[4]The tumor is characterized by a high recurrence rate, associated epithelial malignant tumors (5–8%), and bone destruction. The CT appearance of inverted papilloma is variable and non–specific. Nonetheless, inverted papilloma is the most likely diagnosis when a unilateral mass in the nasal vault, producing benign bony changes, extends centrifugally into the maxillary and ethmoidal sinuses and through the nasal choana into the nasopharynx in an elderly patient with chronic nasal obstruction. Recurrence rates of inverted papilloma are highly unacceptable, which actually represents residual disease in most cases. In this study, we have presented a case report and reviewed the histological features of sinonasal inverted papilloma.
