โฆ Synopsis
Al~i-year-old girl was initially seen with a 6-month history of right maxillary sinus fullness and pressure. Head and neck examination revealed a polyp in the right middle meatus. Both the right osteomeatal complex and the right maxilllary sinus were opacified on thin-cut coronal computed tomography.
Based on these findings, the patient underwent surgery, at which time polyps were removed from the right middle meatus and the natural os- tium of the right maxillary sinus was enlarged. A tannish-pink mass found in the maxillary sinus was biopsied. The biopsy was consistent with an inverted papilloma. The patient was referred to another institution, where a repeat CT scan was obtained. This demonstrated postoperative changes and persistent opacification of the right maxillary sinus (Figure 1A-C).

Due to their tendency to recur, and a potential for malignancy, inverting papillomas of the nasal cavity and paranasat sinuses pose a challenge to the head and neck surgeon. Although the majority of these benign neoplasms arise from the lateral nasal wall, middle meatus, and ethmoid complex, they oc
To evaluate the role of conservation surgical treatment of invetted papillomas of the nose and paranasal sinuses, the clinical course of 46 patients treated during a 10-year period was evaluated. Twelve patients were noted to have either invasive squamous cell carcinoma or carcinoma in situ and were
## Background: Although sinonasal inverted papilloma (ip) is a rare benign tumor, it has a tendency to recur and is sometimes associated with squamous cell carcinoma (scc). therefore, postoperative long-term follow-up of these patients is recommended. we previously reported that serum scc antigen m
