Abstract

Sinonasal inverted papilloma (SNIP), Inverting papilloma, Schneiderian papilloma etc. It is a benign tumor with incidence nearly 70% of all sinonasal papilloma and 0.5–4.0% of all sinonasal neoplasms. The most common site of origin is lateral nasal wall and common presenting symptom is nasal obstruction followed by epistaxis. On histopathology examination, it is characterized by invagination of neoplastic epithelium into underlying stroma. With the advent of technology, the endoscopic modified dankers approach became the surgical approach of choice. The present study was undertaken to study its role in management of SNIP with reference to rate of recurrence and malignancy. An observational study was conducted in a tertiary health center in which 40 biopsy proven cases of SNIP, operated by endoscopic assisted modified Danker’s approach between September 2008 and January 2019 with minimum follow-up period of 6 months were analyzed. Male:Female ratio was 2.33:1. The most common symptom was nasal obstruction (97.5%) followed by rhinorrhoea (87.5%). Using various imaging and diagnostic measures, lateral nasal wall was found to be the most common site of origin. Out of total 40 cases, 9 (27.5%) patients had recurrence, of these, 6 were benign and remaining 3 had malignancy as confirmed by biopsy. Most of the cases of SNIP can be managed endoscopically, although extensive lesions or the lesions with malignant transformation, external approach may be needed so expertise in both endoscopic and conventional techniques is needed. Although most of the recurrences occurred in first 2 years, but life time follow-up is advisable.
