| Abstrakt: |
Inverted papillomas are rare nasal and sinus neoplasms in children. The disturbing biological characteristics of these tumors seen in adults, including malignant degeneration and the high frequency of recurrence, have been similarly observed in the pediatric population. Therefore, inverted papilloma in children mandates similar treatment to that proven effective in adults, including wide excision and careful histopathological examination of any tissue excised. Radiation therapy should be reserved for those tumors associated with carcinoma. Since recurrences can occur after long periods of time, life-long follow-up is warranted. |
