Area of Science:
- Otolaryngology
- Pathology
- Oncology
Background:
- Inverted papillomas are benign sinonasal tumors with a propensity for recurrence.
- Malignant transformation of inverted papillomas, though rare, presents a significant clinical challenge.
Observation:
- A 55-year-old female patient presented with recurrent inverted papilloma.
- Pathological examination revealed concurrent epidermoid carcinoma arising from the inverted papilloma.
Findings:
- The patient was treated with a combination of surgery and radiotherapy.
- The case underscores the aggressive potential and uncertain behavior of inverted sinonasal papillomas.
Implications:
- This case emphasizes the importance of vigilant follow-up for inverted papilloma patients.
- Early detection and comprehensive treatment are crucial for managing malignant transformation.
