Key Points
- Inverted papillomata are benign sinonasal tumours with high recurrence
rates.
- Inverted papillomata recurrence is increased if operated on by a
non-fellowship trained rhinologist.
- Inverted papillomata recurrence can be detected earlier in cases
managed by specialist rhinology services.
- Inverted papillomata should be managed through a clear treatment
pathway for sinonasal tumours.
- Other risk factors associated with increased recurrence include Krouse
stage 3 and involvement of the frontal or maxillary sinuses.
