Inverting papillomas of the nose and paranasal sinuses

Abstract: Inverting papilloma of the nose and paranasal sinuses can sometimes be very difficult to distinguish from other nasal tumors, and the confusion ranges from allergic nasal polyposis to carcinoma. They are also certainly characterized by multiple recurrence, particularly after limited operations. The experience with 34 cases seen at UCLA over the past two decades is analyzed and a philosophy of treatment is outlined. We favor wide local excision which generally necessitates a lateral rhinotomy and medial maxille… Show more

“…In the era when transnasal resection without endoscopic or microscopic assistance was the most commonly used technique, the percentage of 'recurrences' ranged from 40% (83) to 78% (84). We concur with many authors (7,85) that most of these 'recurrences' are basically 'residual' lesions as the exposure offered by the transnasal approach did not guarantee the adequate radicality of the resection.…”

“…Inverted papillomas commonly occur in the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses of humans and have also been found in the urinary bladder. [1][2][3]9 Human papillomavirus antigens (HPV) were found in one case of an inverted papilloma of the nasal cavity. l 8 Cytopathic effects of papillomaviruses include dyskeratosis of the superficial epithelium and the presence of koilocytotic cells.…”

“…The local aggressiveness, high rate of recurrence, associated malignancy and tendency to multicentricity are the clinical characteristics of inverted papilloma that have recently led most workers [7,8] to advocate radical surgical removal of these tumors. The incidence of recurrence has been observed directly related to the method of surgical treatment.…”

“…The incidence of recurrence has been observed directly related to the method of surgical treatment. The limited excision by intranasal polypectomy, turbinectomy or the Caldwell-luc has resulted in high recurrence rates of 73% [6] to 78% [7]. On the contrary, lateral rhinotomy performed in conjunction with medial maxillectomy is accompanied by a marked reduction in the incidence of recurrences, the fi gures varying from 0 -13% [6][7][8].…”
