Abstract

Purpose

This study examines the impact of concomitant mucosal inflammation on clinical manifestations and long-term outcomes of Inverted Papilloma (IP).

Methods

This retrospective cohort study was conducted in five tertiary medical centers. The included patients underwent an attachment-oriented surgical resection for IP with a minimum follow-up of 3 years.

Results

Of 185 patients with IP, 65 patients (35.1%) had synchronous mucosal inflammation with polypoid changes. The mean age was 56.7 years, and 69% were males. Most tumors originated from the maxillary sinus. Age, gender, Krouse stage, and tumor attachment site did not differ between the mucosal inflammation and IP-only groups. IP recurrence rate was twofold in the patients with mucosal inflammation (15.4% vs. 7.5%, p = 0.092). However, the difference was not significant, with a similar median time to recurrence between the two groups [15.5 (3–36) months vs. 16(6–96) months, p = 0.712]. In revision cases, IP recurred only in patients with mucosal inflammation (19% vs. 0%, p = 0.07). This group had a significantly worse 5-years recurrence-free survival than revision cases without mucosal inflammation (80.6% vs. 100%, p = 0.04).

Conclusions

IP in the setting of mucosal inflammation might be associated with a higher recurrence rate, predominantly after revision surgery. Otolaryngologists should consider this during these patients’ diagnosis, surgical planning, and follow-up.
