Abstract

Sinonasal inverted papillomas are benign tumors of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses. The basic characteristics of these papillomas are their different localizations in the nasal cavity, local aggressive behavior and potential to transform into malignant tumors. The most common symptoms of those tumors are nasal obstruction, rhinorrhea, and epistaxis. Rare symptoms such as dysphagia and hoarseness may be seen in relation with the localization and the size of the tumor. In this article, we present an unusual case of a huge inverted papilloma originating from the superior turbinate, extending down to epiglottis, and causing dysphagia and dyspnea.

Abstract

Sinonazal inverted papillomlar, burun ve paranazal sinüslerin benign tümörleridir. Bu papillomların temel özellikleri; nazal kavite içinde farklı lokalizasyonlarda bulunabilmeleri, lokal agresif seyir göstermeleri ve malign tümörlere dönüşme potansiyelleridir. Burun tıkanıklığı, burun akıntısı ve burun kanaması bu tümörlerin en yaygın semptomlarıdır. Tümörün yerleşim yerine ve büyüklüğüne bağlı olarak, yutma güçlüğü ve ses kısıklığı gibi nadir semptomlara da rastlanabilir. Bu yazıda üst konkadan köken alan, epiglota kadar uzanan ve yutma güçlüğü ve nefes darlığına yol açan sıra dışı dev bir sinonazal inverted papillom olgusu sunuldu
