title: [Medial maxillectomy in transitional papilloma].
abstract: Transitional Papilloma, the formerly inverted papilloma, is a rather rare neoplasm of the nasal cavity. Its origin is still debated. The only constant symptom is unilateral nose obstruction. This lesion is of considerable interest because of the recurrence tendency and its association with malignancy. Although a benign tumor, radical aggressive surgery is advocated. A medial maxillectomy is the treatment of choice. A sublabial incision gives excellent exposure without external facial scar.
