title: [Sinonasal inverted papilloma: our experiences of diagnostic and surgical care in Côte d'Ivoire].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To present our experience of the diagnostic and surgical care of sino-nasal inverted papilloma.
  
  
  METHODS
  Retrospective study over 14 years (1996-2010) realised in the ENT departments in Côte d'Ivoire. Thirteen inverted papilloma confirmed and operated, after computed tomography, were included (7 men and 6 women, from 8 to 55 years old).
  
  
  RESULTS
  The nasal obstruction was the main symptom. Twelve inverted papilloma correspond to Krouse stage T3, and 1 case T4. Surgical removal was performed by lateral rhinotomy (8 cases), Caldwell-Luc (4 cases) and De Lima (1 case). Squamous cell carcinoma was associated in 1 case. Recurrence with malignant transformation was observed in 1 case.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Surgery by external approach allowed to obtaining satisfactory results. It stays of current events in our countries under equipped. Histopathological examination of the surgical specimen must be compulsory.
