Abstract Inverted papillomas form about 0.4 to 5% of nasal tumors. They usually present as unilateral firm, bulky, red and vascular masses. We present three cases which were initially diagnosed as a maxillary mucocele, pansinusitis and antrochoanal polyp based on clinical and radiological findings. It is important to keep the diagnosis of inverted papilloma in mind in unilateral diseases of the paranasal sinuses as a more radical approach is required.

ABSTRACT Introduction An inverted papilloma is a benign tumor that is found in the nasal cavity or paranasal sinuses. Inverted papilloma accounts for approximately 0.5 to 2.0% of all nasal tumors. While it is considered benign, an inverted papilloma can destroy the surrounding bone. In a small number of cases (5-15%), an inverted papilloma may be found with a squamous cell carcinoma; one such case is reported. Case report A 70-year-old male presented with complaints of right-sided nasal blockage, which progressively increased over time and nasal discharge since one and half years with occasional history of epistaxis. On anterior rhinoscopic examination, there was a fleshy polypoidal mass filling the right nasal cavity. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed a soft tissue density mass filling maxillary sinus and posterior choana with mild enhancement. Endoscopic medial maxillectomy was performed with complete removal of mass. Histopathological diagnosis was given as inverted sinonasal papilloma with malignant transformation. The patient was referred to a cancer reference center for treatment and received combined radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Patient was disease free at 6-month follow-up. Conclusion An inverted papilloma is a benign tumor with a propensity for malignant change. For these reasons, inverted papilloma should be treated like malignant tumor of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses. How to cite this article Prinja S, Davessar JL, Luthra H, Kaur M.

Inverted papilloma is a benign epithelial growth arising from the underlying stroma of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses. The pathogenesis of this lesion uptil date remains unclear. The tumor is known for its local invasiveness, rapid recurrence and link with malignancy. The recurrence rate of this tumor is usually too high that represents residual disease in most of the cases. Hence, it is mandate that the patient keeps a proper follow up on long term concerns. Here is one such patient, whose nasal mass seemed Antrochoanal polyp clinically but ended up as Inverted papilloma histopathologically.

Precise localization and excision of the originating site of a sinonasal inverted papilloma is essential for decreasing tumor recurrence. In this study we evaluated the use of preoperative computed tomography (CT) to pinpoint the attachment/origi-nating sites of the tumor.

Inverted transitional cell papilloma (Schneider papilloma), a rare benign tumor, accounts for about 0.5% of all neoplasms of the nose. Usually unilateral, recurrences of the tumor can occur after 5-10 years. The clinical case testifi es to the gigantic size of the neoplasm, the germination of the inverted papilloma into the paranasal sinuses, the malignancy of the process and the metastasis of the tumor, which was not previously described. The main treatment for preventing recurrence is radical surgery, possibly with ligation of the external carotid artery.

Significance Statement: Primary middle ear inverted papilloma is an exceedingly rare finding posing a diagnostic challenge, as symptomatology often mimics common clinical entities like serous otitis media. Clinical and radiological findings are not specific, whilst high recurrence rates, local destruction, and potential malignant transformation constitute an overall demanding surgical challenge, requiring aggressive procedures. We report the case of a primary inverted papilloma of the middle ear, discussing diagnostic and therapeutic issues.

Inverted papillomas are tumors of the sinonasal tract with a propensity to recur. Raman spectroscopy can potentially identify inverted papillomas from other tissue based on biochemical signatures. A pilot study comparing Raman spectroscopy to histopathology for 3 types of sinonasal tissue was performed. Spectral data of biopsies from patients with normal sinonasal mucosa, chronic rhinosinusitis, and inverted papillomas are compared to histopathology using principal component analysis and linear discriminant analysis after data preprocessing. A total of 18 normal, 15 chronic rhinosinusitis, and 18 inverted papilloma specimens were evaluated. The model distinguished normal sinonasal mucosa, chronic rhinosinusitis, and inverted papilloma tissue with an overall accuracy of 90.2% (95% confidence interval, 0.86-0.94). In conclusion, Raman spectroscopy can distinguish inverted papilloma, normal sinonasal mucosa, and chronically rhinosinusitis tissue with acceptable accuracy.

AbstractObjective:This study reports a case of a sinonasal inverted papilloma with spread to the temporal bone via the eustachian tube and subsequent transformation to squamous cell carcinoma.Method:An 81-year-old woman presented with sinonasal inverted papilloma which subsequently spread to the ear. A literature review of inverted papilloma was carried out based on a Pubmed search of studies published between 1987 and 2011, using the key words ‘sinonasal inverted papilloma’, ‘temporal bone inverted papilloma’ and ‘squamous cell carcinoma’.Results and conclusion:Sinonasal and temporal bone inverted papillomas may sometimes be linked through direct spread via the eustachian tube. Inverted papillomas have the potential for malignant transformation; careful monitoring of both the nose and ear is therefore required for inverted papillomas found in the nasopharynx.
