title: Inverted papilloma involving the temporal bone and its association with squamous cell carcinoma: critical analysis of the literature.
abstract: Inverted papilloma is a rare, benign neoplasm, which usually originates from the lateral nasal wall and can be locally aggressive, extending into surrounding structures. Unusually, this disease involves temporal bone. There have been only 18 reported cases in the literature. The available data regarding inverted papilloma of the temporal bone are reviewed, and its etiopathogenesis, recurrence rate and association with squamous cell carcinoma are discussed.
