Objectives: A diagnosis of inverted papilloma in apparently normal bilateral polyps is a possible albeit rare event. The frequency of this diagnosis varies between 0.00% and 0.92%. There are no studies evaluating whether this possibility is significantly different in patients operated for recurrence when compared with those undergoing first surgery. The aim of this study is to evaluate the frequency of inverted papilloma in a series of histologic specimens obtained from patients undergoing surgery for recurrent nasal polyposis.

Methods: The authors conducted a retrospective chart and pathologic review of data from 1887 surgical interventions for removal of unremarkable bilateral nasal polyps. Frequency of inverted papilloma was assessed.

Results: Five cases of inverted papilloma were identified. The incidence of this diagnosis was thus 0.26% (95% confidence interval, 0.08-0.62%). Age, gender, and number of recurrences did not influence the frequency of this diagnosis.

Conclusions: The occurrence of inverted papilloma in unremarkable recurrent cases of nasal polyps is rare. This rate is similar to the one observed in patients undergoing first surgery.

Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a common inflammatory disease of the paranasal sinuses with a yet unknown etiology. As studies continue to elucidate the disease's heterogeneity inflammatory profile and presentation, there is a growing interest in the influence of the nasal microbiome on disease pathogenesis and chronicity. The sinus microbiota appear dominated by the and genera; known upper airway pathogens, such as , are present in the upper airways of healthy individuals, though at relatively lower abundances than in CRS patients.

squamous cell carcinoma is a recently recognized entity characterized by a non-viral-related non-keratinizing squamous cell carcinoma with chromosomal rearrangement between on 6p22.3 and on Xq28. This neoplasm is associated with an aggressive clinical behavior, particularly regarding local recurrences and distant metastases even with its deceptively bland histomorphology.

Inverted papilloma is a rare, benign epithelial tumor of the nasal and sinus cavities with an unclear etiology. It usually presents as unilateral nasal obstruction. Diagnosis is histological, and treatment is primarily surgical.

Article Synopsis
  • Sinonasal inverted papilloma (SNIP) has a high recurrence rate and the potential to become malignant, but its specific metabolic pathways and biomarkers are not fully understood.
  • RNA sequencing identified significant gene alterations related to the estrogen biosynthesis pathway and highlighted five key biomarkers (AKR1B10, CYP1B1, CYP2C19, CYP3A5, and HSD17B13) that were correlated with SNIP pathogenesis.
  • Functional analysis indicated that these biomarkers are involved in epithelial cell proliferation and EGFR signaling regulation, suggesting their potential as diagnostic and therapeutic targets for managing SNIP.
