Atypical Sinonasal Inverted Papilloma - A Case Report
Year: 2024
Type: article
Study design: Case Report
Abstract: Rationale: Sinonasal tumours are rare occurrences accounting for 3-4% of tumours (benign/malignant/co-existing) in the head-and-neck region, making it difficult to render an absolute diagnosis and treatment, thereof keeping in mind the tumour presentation and quality of life of the patient. Patient Concerns: The patient reported with complaints of swelling over the right side of the face associated with recent onset of pain in the same region. Diagnosis: Upon clinical, radiographic and histopathological examination, it was diagnosed as right Sinonasal inverted papilloma (SNIP). Treatment: The clinicians in the study approached the SNIP by opting for tumour resection with subtotal maxillectomy and reconstruction using a prosthetic obturator. Outcomes: Patient was operated and relived of the pathology and followed up for 18 months. She is now taken up for prosthetic rehabilitation. Take-away Lessons: The authors advocate the choice for open surgeries in cases where minimally invasive techniques do not meet the needs of desired results.
