Inverted papilloma (IP) is a locally destructive, benign neoplasm of the nose and paranasal sinuses with a high tendency for recurrence, a significant potential for malignancy, and an etiology that today is still uncertain. The expression of hormonal receptors in neoplastic tissues has been the focus of intensive research for its potential diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic significance. The aim of this study was to assess the potential estroprogestinic receptor expression in patients undergoing sinus surgery for IP. A retrospective study was carried out, on surgical specimens of 73 patients who underwent endoscopic sinus surgery for first manifestation of sinonasal IP (primitive IP group) and in 21 subjects who had developed a recurrence (relapsed IP group). The results of the immunohistochemical analysis of the first group showed the absence of receptor expression for PGR in all cases analyzed and the presence of a low positivity for ER in 11 cases (P > 0.082). Similarly, in the second group the results showed a low presence of ER receptors in 3 of the 21 cases (P > 0.068), while there was no evidence of PGR receptors in the examined samples. In addition, in 11 of the cases only 3 were considered positive (27.2%) showing a recurrence during follow-up (P > 0.068).Our results suggest that the sinonasal IP is a benign tumor independent of estrogen and progesterone, and the receptors for these hormones are therefore unsuitable as predictors of relapse or possible prognostic indicators and therapeutic targets.

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.
