We report the case of a 68-year-old woman who underwent 18F-FDG PET/CT for squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCC Ag) elevation in the follow-up of a uterine cervical cancer. The examination showed an FDG-avid mass of the left nasal cavity with left maxillary sinusitis and no other site of abnormal FDG uptake. Surgical resection of the nasal polyp was performed, and pathological examination of the specimen revealed an inverted sinonasal papilloma. SCC Ag returned to normal after surgery. Inverted sinonasal papilloma is a rare cause of SCC Ag elevation, which can be depicted by 18F-FDG PET/CT.

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.

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.
