ENDOSCOPIC MEDIAL WALL MAXILLECTOMY FOR TREATMENT OF INVERTED PAPILLOMA

Abstract

Sinonasal tumors are not uncommon lesions, they are either benign or malignant, benign tumors are relatively common while the malignant are considered rare. The inverted papilloma of the paranasal sinuses is the commonest benign tumor and has a potential to become malignant. This is a report of three cases of inverted papilloma of the paranasal sinuses which were approached surgically by endoscopic sinus surgery with very good results. These cases were diagnosed by CT-scan of paranasal sinuses followed by biopsy taken via endoscopic guidance. Keywords: Endoscopy, maxillectomy, inverted papilloma
