Schneiderian papilloma of the nasopharynx.
We report a rare case of a schneiderian papilloma of the nasopharynx. Because this tumor is locally invasive, has a tendency to recur, and can undergo malignant transformation, it should be completely excised. It is possible to completely remove such a tumor in a minimally invasive way by using a combination of transnasal and transoral approaches and high-resolution angled endoscopes and other suitably designed instruments.
