Inverted Papilloma of the Nasal Cavity and Paranasal Sinuses: Clinical Data, Surgical Strategy and Recurrence Rates

Hemangiopericytomas are rare tumors of vascular origin most commonly found in the extremities or retroperitoneal area. When they originate from the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses, they tend to be less aggressive and generally do not metastasize. The term “hemangiopericytoma-like lesion” has been coined for sinonasal hemangiopericytomas that display more benign histologic and growth characteristics than do those located elsewhere. Fifteen cases of hemangiopericytoma of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses were reviewed over the period 1951 to 1990; included are follow-up data on cases reported earlier from this institution. The clinical course, management, and outcome was evaluated and correlated with the histologic characteristics of the tumors. The recurrence rate in our series was 13.3%; the mean follow-up was 11 years. No patients died of their disease or had evidence of metastatic disease. This clinicopathologic review suggests that sinonasal hemangiopericytomas should not be classified as “hemangiopericytoma-like” lesions; rather, they should be expected to have significant local recurrence rates with low rates of distant metastasis and mortality. Long-term follow-up is essential as there can be local recurrence after many years.

Sinonasal Inverted Papilloma

Sinonasal inverted papilloma is a benign lesion that occurs in the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses. Fungiform papillomas have been described as arising from the septum or the nasal vestibule, while inverted and cylindrical papillomas have been characterized as developing from an attachment site on the lateral nasal wall or a mucosal surface in the paranasal sinuses. Here, we present a rare case of an inverted papilloma that completely obstructed the anterior nasal orifice.
