title: [Isolated inverted papilloma of the sphenoid sinus - case report].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Primary inverted papilloma of the sphenoid sinus is rare. The tumor is considered locally aggressive. In selected cases inverted papilloma can be associated with squamous cell carcinoma. Radiologic imaging is a key to an accurate diagnosis.
  
  
  OBJECTIVE
  We analyzed patient with inverted papilloma in sphenoid sinus which was removed with endoscopic surgery.
  
  
  METHODS
  We discuss patient with isolated inverted papilloma located in the sphenoid sinus.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Performed endoscopic treatment enabled removal of tumour with no complications.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Transnasal endoscopic large sphenoidotomy remains an effective modality for management of patients with inverted papilloma. This method does not require external approach and it is performed with no scars, with minimal injury of tissues.
