[Our experience in treatment of patients with inverted papilloma of lateral nasal wall].
Inverted papilloma is a benign neoplasm of uncertain etiology arising from the lateral nasal wall and middle meatus. The tumour is considered locally aggressive. In selected cases inverted papilloma can be associated with squamous cell carcinoma. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging are widely used for diagnosis and preoperative workup to evaluate the degree of sinus involvement. Its tendency to invade adjacent paranasal structures and high recurrence rate causes controversy as to the optimal method of surgical removal. During the past decade, endoscopic surgical approaches have become accepted as standard of care in case of inverted papilloma. Continually increasing skill with the use of the endoscopes and a better understanding of the anatomy of the region have allowed surgeons to extend the applications of sinus endoscopic surgery. The following paper reports clinical outcome of treatment of 20 patients with inverted papilloma of the lateral nasal wall treated in ENT University Department in Kraków, provides review of current literature concerning the subject and discusses indications and contraindications of this method of treatment in comparison with traditional extranasal approaches in order to search for the optimal philosophy of sinus surgery for inverted papilloma.
