  • Title: [Inverted papilloma of the nose and paranasal sinuses. Apropos of 10 cases].
    Author: Ruaux C, Serrano E, Delisle MB, Pessey JJ.
    Journal: Ann Otolaryngol Chir Cervicofac; 1992; 109(6):294-302. PubMed ID: 1298176.
    Abstract:
    Authors report a retrospective study of 10 new cases of inverted papilloma of the nose and paranasal sinuses, observed during a 26 years period, with a 6.1 years average follow up. This group is marked by 2 cases of directly carcinomatous association, 4 cases of recurrence and 2 cases of later malignant transformation. The responsibility of different types of human papillomavirus in the origin of this tumor and its malignant transformation is suspected. Preoperative evaluation is based on clinical examination, CT scan and endoscopic method while diagnosis and prognosis depend on histopathologic finding of the whole tumor. The aim of surgical treatment is the most complete removal of the tumor with as limited after effects as possible. Lateral rhinotomy is the most favoured surgical approach versus mid facial degloving and intranasal endoscopy. No surgical patient, no removal tumor, inadequate limits, malignant papilloma and early recurrence are indications for external radiotherapy.
