Inverted papilloma (IP) is a benign tumor with a local aggressive nature and has a tendency to recur after excision. Despite the evolution of endoscopic techniques in the management of IP, external approaches still play a crucial role in frontal sinus involvement.ObjectiveThe present study aimed at planning a strategy for managing IP arising in or involving the frontal recess and/or frontal sinus.Patients and methodsTen patients with frontal sinus IP were enrolled in the present study. The type of surgical procedure was tailored according to the site of origin and extent of the tumor.ResultsFive combined surgeries and five extended endoscopic surgeries were performed in 1 year and 4 months with a follow up period of 2 years. Complete resection of the tumor was achieved in all the cases and no recurrences were reported at the end of the follow up period.ConclusionsThe exact approach to frontal sinus IP differ from one case to the other. Endoscopic frontal surgery is the mainstay in treatment of frontal sinus IP. External or combined approaches still remain a valid option for lesions affecting the mucosa of the frontal sinus extensively or extending far lateral.
