Purpose: This study examined the early events in the neoplastic progression of the sinonasal inverted papilloma to squamous cell carcinoma from the viewpoint of chronic inflammation and apoptosis.
Materials And Methods: In total, 118 archival slides stained with hematoxylin and eosin from 45 patients were graded according to histopathology (grades I-IV). Their representative portions were transferred to a tissue microarray, sections of which were stained immunohistochemically for cyclooxygenase-2, p53, bax, bcl-2, and nuclear factor κB.
Results: Cyclooxygenase-2 expression was positively correlated with histopathologic grade, with higher expression in advanced grades. p53s were detected in all cores from advanced grades (III, IV), but not in early grades (I, II). The expressions of nuclear factor κB, bax, and bcl-2 were not correlated with the grade.
Conclusions: A p53 mutation seems be a critical event for the malignant transformation of the sinonasal inverted papilloma. Cyclooxygenase-2-mediated inflammatory signals, activated as a consequence of the p53 mutation, may contribute to promoting the proliferation of the advanced sinonasal inverted papilloma.

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.

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.

Background: Hyperostosis is a common radiographic feature of inverted papilloma (IP) tumor origin on computed tomography (CT). Herein, we developed a machine learning (ML) model capable of analyzing CT images and identifying IP attachment sites.
Methods: A retrospective review of patients treated for IP at our institution was performed.

Objective: Prior studies have been contradictory on the role of human papillomavirus (HPV) infection in sinonasal inverted papilloma (SNIP) recurrence. This systematic review and meta-analysis was performed to further evaluate this potential association.

Nasal and paranasal sinus masses can arise from a wide range of conditions, both benign and malignant, as well as congenital or acquired. Diagnosing these masses is often challenging, requiring a combination of nasal endoscopy, imaging studies, and histopathological analysis. Initial imaging frequently involves computed tomography or cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) to evaluate the bony anatomy of the nasal cavity and surrounding sinuses, while magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is typically used for detailed assessment of soft tissues and to aid in differential diagnosis when the findings are inconclusive.
