Abstract:
While inverted papilloma is a rare tumor occurring in only 0.5-4 % of all primary nasosinal tumors, its importance lies in the fact that retrospective studies have proven that 2% to 3% of nasal polyps end up being inverted papilloma. Since about 2006, it has been found that the originating site of inverted papilloma in most cases is a zone of osteitis (or hyperostosis) that needs to be detected by means of a computerized tomography. This has resulted in a lower recurrence rate when combined with endoscopic surgery. Below, a case of inverted papilloma with osteitis in the anterior ethmoidal air cells will be presented (Stage Krouse 2).
