Abstract

Objective

We describe an unusual case of bilateral nasal inverted papilloma.

Case report

Inverted papilloma is a benign epithelial tumor that frequently occurs unilaterally. We report a 65-year-old male patient with a bilateral inverted papilloma located in the ethmoid and maxillary sinus. Functional endoscopic sinus surgery was performed in order to completely remove both tumors.

Conclusion

We present a rare entity of bilateral independent sinonasal papilloma treated successfully with endoscopic sinus approach.
