  • Title: Inverting papilloma of the temporal bone.
    Author: Pou AM, Vrabec JT.
    Journal: Laryngoscope; 2002 Jan; 112(1):140-2. PubMed ID: 11802052.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVES: Inverting papilloma of the temporal bone is exceedingly rare. The objective is to familiarize the clinician with the clinical presentation and prognosis of this entity. STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective case study and literature review. METHODS: Published reports of inverting papillomas originating in the temporal bone were reviewed in conjunction with two cases presenting at the University of Texas Medical Branch (Galveston, TX). RESULTS: Inverting papillomas of the temporal bone are frequently associated with persistent middle ear effusion and ipsilateral sinonasal tumors and display a higher incidence of malignancy. CONCLUSIONS: Successful management of these tumors requires an aggressive surgical resection. Adjuvant radiation therapy is recommended in patients with malignant changes.
