Inverted papillomas are benign epithelial tumors usually arising from the mucous membrane of the sinonasal cavity and the urinary tract. Similar tumors of the conjunctiva are much rarer. We describe a case of juxtalimbal inverted papilloma in an 11-year-old boy who presented with a pigmented lesion that simulated a conjunctival nevus. Excisional biopsy established the diagnosis of inverted papilloma. The patient was carefully followed for 2 years, because the tumor's behavior in the conjunctiva is unknown. There was no recurrence of the lesion.

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.

Rationale And Objectives: Nasal polyps (NP) and inverted papilloma (IP) are benign tumors within the nasal cavity, each necessitating distinct treatment approaches. Herein, we investigate the utility of a deep learning (DL) model for distinguishing between NP and IP.
Materials And Methods: A total of 1791 patients with nasal benign tumors from two hospitals were retrospectively enrolled.

: Periostin's role in the pathogenesis of inflammatory diseases, particularly in the nose and paranasal sinuses, is an area of growing interest. This study aims to evaluate the expression of periostin in mucoceles, inverted papillomas, choanopolyps and retention cysts. : Tissue samples collected during functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) were analyzed for POSTN gene mRNA expression using qPCR.
