Abstract
ABSTRACT
Inverted papilloma (IP) is an uncommon sinonasal malignancy primarily affecting
middle-aged adults. It is characterized by locally aggressive behavior, a high
recurrence rate, and a concerning potential for malignant transformation. The
etiology of inverted papilloma remains unclear, although human papillomavirus
(HPV) infection has been implicated in up to 40% of cases. Surgical intervention is
the mainstay of treatment, with the approach (endoscopic versus external) dictated
by the extent and characteristics of the tumor. Rigorous follow-up is mandatory
to ensure early detection of local recurrence, which can manifest early or with a
delayed presentation.
