Abstract:
Oncocytic papilloma is the rarest type of sinonasal papilloma observed in the sinonasal cavity. It commonly arises from the lateral nasal wall, particularly involving the maxillary and ethmoid sinuses. It rarely originates in the middle ear cavity, nasopharynx, or lacrimal sac. This is a case report of a 61-year-old male patient who presented with complaints of epistaxis since 1 month, describing a rare case of sinonasal oncocytic papilloma located in the nasopharynx. This report explains the diagnostic evaluation and subsequent management. Early recognition and complete surgical excision contribute to effective treatment and reduced risk of recurrence.

Cranial Bones: Lateral View
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...
