title: Recurrent inverted papilloma of a pediatric patient: clinico-radiological considerations.
abstract: Inverted papilloma (IP) of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses is an uncommon pathology, especially in the pediatric population. We present a pediatric case of recurrent IP in the left nasal cavity. The physical examination of a 9-year-old girl revealed a polypoid mass filling the middle meatus in the left nasal cavity. Purulent secretion and adenoid vegetation obstructing the choanea were also noted. Coronal and axial maxillo-facial computed tomography demonstrated a mass in the nasal cavity, enlarging the left middle meatus. We discussed the imaging findings and treatment of IP and concluded that it should have been included in the differential diagnosis of nasal mass lesions in the pediatric population.
