Inverted papillomas represent approximately 0.5%–4% of all nasal tumors. The most common sites of localization are lateral nasal wall, middle meatus and middle turbinate. Rarely, inverted papilloma develops in inferior turbinate, nasal vestibule and nasal septum. The conventional treatment of invert...

Summary:Inverted papillomas represent approximately 0.5%–4% of all nasal tumors. The most common sites of localization are lateral nasal wall, middle meatus and middle turbinate. Rarely, inverted papilloma develops in inferior turbinate, nasal vestibule and nasal septum. The conventional treatment of inverted papilloma is surgical approach comprising procedures such as lateral rhinotomy, midfacial degloving, transantral Caldwell-Luc and transnasal sphenoethmoidectomy. Since the endoscopic approach has been introduced and applied routinely, it has become a treatment option for the inverted papilloma. In this study, we propose an inverted papilloma case originated from posterior nasal septum and treated successfully with endoscopic surgery.
