Inverting papilloma of the sphenoid sinus: report of two cases.
Two patients with sphenoid sinus inverting papilloma who were treated either by transcranial or sublabial trans-septal approach are reported. Inverting papillomas arising from the sphenoid sinus are exceedingly rare. The clinical and neuro-imaging features, as well as surgical treatment, for sphenoid sinus tumours are also briefly discussed.
