Inverted papilloma of nose with orbital involvement and malignant transformation

Abstract

We report two cases of inverted papilloma of nose with malignant transformation and orbital involvement in 60 year and 73 year male patients from Nepal. Medial maxillectomy and orbital exenteration were done in both cases. Histo- pathological examination showed areas of squamous cell carcinoma in inverted papilloma in both of the cases.

The dilemma of diagnosis and treatment is discussed with review of literature.
