Sinonasal inverted papilloma (IP) is the most common benign tumor in sinonasal cavities. Treatment involves excising the whole tumor, so it is essential to evaluate the extent of the tumor by preoperative radiographic findings. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is superior to computed tomography (CT) for determining a tumor's location as MRI can discern the difference between mucus and IP. We herein report a 51-year-old man with sinonasal IP treated with endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS). Preoperative MRI showed findings resembling a convoluted cerebriform pattern on T2-weighted imaging, but this site was not enhanced by intravenous gadolinium at all. We preoperatively suspected that this site was not part of the tumor but rather the accumulation of mucus, and indeed, we found no tumor at this site when we performed the surgery. This patient is a valuable example of misleading findings of IP on T2-weighted imaging and underscores the importance of contrast-enhanced T1-weighted imaging to determine the extent of IP.

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.
