Inverted papilloma of the nose and paranasal sinuses is a neoplastic growth of epithelium which inverts into the underlying strorna rather than proliferating outward from the surface. This neoplasm is unique, characterized by its capacity to destroy bone by pressure erosion, its tendency to recur after incomplete removal, and its association with squamous cell carcinoma.
The experience with 36 cases of inverted papilloma seen at Department of Otolaryngology, Chungnam National University :Hospital from Feb. 1986 to Nov. 1993 was reviewed with respect to clinical presentation, history, radiographic findings, and response to various modalities of surgical procedures.
