Abstract

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.
We analyzed patient with inverted papilloma in sphenoid sinus which was removed with endoscopic surgery.
We discuss patient with isolated inverted papilloma located in the sphenoid sinus.
Performed endoscopic treatment enabled removal of tumour with no complications.
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.
