[Inverted papilloma of the nose. Apropos of a case associating polyps and an inverted papilloma of the nose]

Abstract

In this article is presented a case report of a 59 years old woman with a medical history of recurrent nasal polyps (from 20 years ago). This woman presented an inverted papilloma in the middle meatus of the lateral wall of the nasal cavity simultaneously with the nasal polyps, and she was faced with surgical intranasal removal. The patient, two years later, presented again nasal polyps, but without any indication of the recurrence of the inverted papilloma. It is noticed the value of the local surgical removal of the inverted papilloma in patients who do not present extensive tumors.
