ISOLATED INVERTED PAPILLOMA AT INFERIOR TURBINATE

Inverted papilloma (IP) is one of the benign sinonasaltumors and usually originates from lateral nasal wallmucosa. Despite being a benign tumor, IPs mightinvade neighboring structures such as paranasalsinuses, orbita, even skull base. IPs are known for highrecurrence rates after incomplete resection. Due to thisimportant feature of tumor, total resection of thetumor is a must for optimal treatment. Technologicaladvancements within recent years made transnasalendoscopic techniques new gold standard for patientswith limited disease. Fontanelle area of lateral nasalwall is the most common location for invertedpapilloma. There are hardly any report for any caseshaving isolated inverted papilloma of the inferiorturbinate without involvement of middle meatus incurrent literature. This paper reports a rarepresentation of isolated inverted papilloma at inferiorturbinate and aims to increase our knowledge aboutthis common sinonasal tumor.
