Abstract
A 51-year-old male patient was referred to the Rhinology clinic with an eight-week history of left-sided recurrent epistaxis and progressive nasal obstruction. He did not complain of hyposmia, mucopurulent rhinorrhea, headache, or any visual impairment. The patient was previously treated with intranasal steroid sprays, which did not improve his symptomatology. He was otherwise fit and well. After full head and neck examination, including flexible nasendoscopy, the patient underwent cross-sectional imaging with CT (Fig. 36.1) and MRI scans. A biopsy was taken and revealed inverted papilloma (IP). Eventually, he underwent endoscopic sinus surgery in the form of an endoscopic medial maxillectomy and is now 5 years disease-free.
