Purpose: In this study, the surgical management of an inverted papilloma of the nose and paranasal sinuses at our institutions (Allama Iqbal Medical College and King Edward Medical College Lahore-Pakistan) is reviewed. Methods: Nine patients diagnosed with an inverted papilloma and treated at the Ear Nose and Throat Departments of Allama Iqbal Medical College and King Edward Medical College Lahore-Pakistan from 1995 to 2003 were retrospectively reviewed. One patient after the complete work up left without surgery. Eight patients were treated with lateral rhinotomy and medial maxillectomy. Results: The patients had a mean follow up of 4 years and eight months (8 years to 2 years 3 months). The overall recurrence rate was 12%. The patient with recurrence on biopsy showed presence of squamous cell carcinoma. Conclusions: All unilateral nasal masses must be biopsied. Lateral rhinotomy with medial maxillectomy is an effective way of treating sinonasal inverted papilloma in our set up.
