Inverted papilloma arising from mucous membrane of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses is very rare benign neoplasm. Ward first described nasal papilloma in 1854, but its infrequent occurrence has delayed accurate understanding. This tumor was histologically benign neoplasm and clinically malignant, because it is locally invasive with extensive bone erosion at times and it shows a high incidence of local recurrence, and change of squamous cell carinoma was sometimes found. Recently, the authors have experienced a case of inverted pailloma with focal squamous cell carcinoma change which occupied the right side of the nsal cavity and maxillary sinus in a 48-year-old male. The tumor mass was removed surgically through intranasal and Caldwell-Luc's approach, and then was treated with systemic administration of Bleomycin, local spray of 5-FU and radiotherapy ($Co^{60}$). We report our case with review of current literatures.

Inverted papilloma is a rare benign tumor which usually arises from sinonasal mucosa. We experienced a case of 62-year-old male who presented with foreign body sensation in throat. A round mass was found at right false vocal cord in laryngoscopic examination. It was excised in laryngeal microsurgery. The pathologic diagnosis was inverted papilloma of false vocal cord. Recurrence or complication did not occur during the follow up period of three months.

Inverted papilloma arising from mucous membrane of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses is rare benign neoplasm, and usually unilateral arise from lateral wall of nasal cavity. This tumor is histologically benign neoplasm but clinically malignant, because of frequent recurrence and extensive bone destruction. And occasionally, this tumor can be transformed to squamous cell carcinoma or verrucous carcinoma. Recently, We have experienced a case of the inverted papilloma with verrucous carcinoma of the nose and paranasal sinuses and patient expired due to extension of intracranial cavity. We report our case with review of current literatures.

Background: Computed tomography (CT) is commonly used to evaluate the degree of sinus involvement in cases of inverted papilloma (IP). However, CT cannot differentiate tumor from adjacent inflammatory mucosa or retained secretions. By contrast, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been reported to be useful in distinguishing IP from paranasal sinusitis. This study investigated whether preoperative assessment with MRI and CT accurately predict the extent of IP.1) Materials and methods: CT and MRI were retrospectively reviewed in 9 cases of IP. Patients were categorized into stages based on CT and MRI findings, according to the staging system proposed by Krouse. The involvement of IP in each sinus was also assessed. Results: Differentiation of IP from inflammatory disease may be more successful in routine cases where the inflammatory mucosa has low signal intensity on T1-weighted images and very high signal intensity on T2-weighted images. CT imaging could not differentiate tumor from adjacent inflammatory mucosa or retained secretions. Conclusion: Preoperative MRI of IP can predict the location and extent of the tumor involvement in the paranasal sinuses and sometimes predicts malignant changes.

The etiology of inverted papilloma(IP) remains unknown, but several studies have reported that Human Papillomavirus(HPV) may play a role in the pathogensis of sinonasal inverted papilloma(IP). And recent reports demonstrate the possible etiologic role of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) in sinonasal IP. The aim of this study is to detect HPV and EBV in sinonasal IP, to examine the relationship between HPV subtype and sinonasal IP, to investigate the relation between HPV and EBV. We reviewed 30 cases of sinonasal IP(simple IP 19 cases, IP with dysplasia 8 cases, IP with squamous cell carcinoma 3 cases). Paraffin embedded archival tissue was used in this study. Detection of HPV, EBV were examined by in situ hybridization(ISH) using HPV type 6/11, 16/18, 31/33/35 DNA probe and EBER probe. The HPV was detected in 6(20%) out of 30 cases. The HPV 6/11 was dectected in 4 out of 19 cases of simple IP, HPV 16/18 in 1, HPV 31/33/35 in 1 out of 8 cases of IP with dysplasia respectively. The EBV was not detected in 30 cases. HPV may play a role in the pathogensis of sinonasal inverted papilloma. But EBV is not a etiopathologic factor to be considered in the development of sinonasal IP.

Background: Inverted papilloma(IP) of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses is a benign neoplastic condition that can be associated with squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). Several studies have indicated an etiologic role for viruses in the development of inverted papilloma. And it is necessary to find out the significance of a biologic markers such as p53, c-erbB-2 to predict the malignant potential. The purposes of this study are to detect HPV in inverted papilloma of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinus, to examine role of HPV as an etiological agent, to examine the relationship between HPV subtype and malignant transformation of inverted papilloma, and to investigate the relation between expression rate of p53, c-erbB-2 and HPV in recurrent or malignant transformation cases. Material and Methods: Thirty two cases of inverted papilloma(IP) in the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses were reviewed and classified into 3 groups; simple IP, IP with dysplasia group, IP with squamous cell carcinoma group. Paraffin embedded achival tissue was used in this study. The HPV was detected by in situ hybridzation (ISH) using HPV type 6/11, 16/18, 31/33/35 DNA probes. Expression of p53 and c-erbB-2 was examined by immunohistochemical staining. Results: 1) The HPV was detected in 6(19%) out of 32 cases. 2) The HPV 6/11 was dectected in 4 out of 21 cases of simple IP, HPV 16/18 in 1, HPV 31/33/35 in lout of 8 cases of IP with dysplasia respectively. 3) The positive expression of p53 was 13 cases out of 32 cases; 2 out of 21 cases of simple IP, all of 8 cases of IP with dysplasia and 3 cases of IP with squamous cell carcinoma 4) The positive expression of c-erbB-2 was in 24 out of 32 cases; 16 out of 21 cases of simple IP, 6 out of 8 cases of IP with dysplasia, 2 out of 3 cases of IP with squamous cell ca. 5) The recurrence of IP occurred in lout of 6 cases of positive for HPV, in 4 out of 26 cases negative for HPV. 6) The recurrence of IP occurred only in positive cases for p53. 7) The recurrence of IP occurred in 4(17%) out of 24 cases positive for c-erbB-2, in 1(13%) out of 8 cases negative for c-erbB-2. Conclusion: The p53 expression was associated with Inverted papillomas exhibiting evidence of malignant transformation. Also, there was a correlation between the p53 expression and recurrence.
