There are several empty spaces on the face, and in the sense that it is a cave next to the nose, it is called 'Bubidong'. If a tumor develops in the sinus, it is a sinus tumor. Non-synovial benign tumors are rare diseases, including inverted papilloma, vascular fibroma, hemangioma, and osteoma. Although the cause of benign tumors is mostly unknown, inversion papilloma is known to be associated with human papilloma virus (HPV).

According to the Google Trends Index, interest in anti-inverted papillomas increased by about 42% in 2023 compared to 2020.

Inverted papilloma occurs in 1.5 people per 100,000 people and men are two to five times more common than women. It is mainly diagnosed in the 40s and 60s, but it has recently occurred in young people, and the incidence rate is increasing despite the fact that it is an uncommon tumor.




Inverted papilloma, unlike other benign tumors, destroys local infiltration and surrounding bone tissue into the surrounding tissue of the tumor. If the primary site of the tumor is not completely removed, recurrence occurs well, and it grows quickly unlike other tumors.

In 5-15% of patients diagnosed with inverted papilloma can progress to malignant tumors such as squamous cell carcinoma, so if left unattended, a bad prognosis may occur, requiring quick diagnosis and treatment.

Ahn Sang-hyun, head of the otolaryngology department at Bundang Jesaeng Hospital, said, `Patients with retrograde papilloma complain of slow progression of nasal congestion, but sudden nasal congestion may be complained when the tumor rapidly proliferates. Most patients often develop symptoms with only one side, which is also associated with features of tumors that develop well outside the nasal cavity. In addition, frequent nosebleeds may be complained, or sinusitis or rhinitis may be mistaken for sinusitis or rhinitis due to sit-in fistula or secretions. If the inverted papilloma is severe, the tumor may protrude out, and if the tumor fills the nasal cavity, it may complain of facial pain, ocular pain or headache.."




In order to diagnose inverted papilloma, nasal endoscopy is essential and is not distinguished from non-cavitary species associated with chronic rhinosinusitis, so differential diagnosis of intranasal tumors that may occur in the nose through nasal specialist treatment is important.

Manager Ahn Sang-hyun said "Inverted papilloma is a tumor with a risk of progressing to a malignant tumor, but surgical treatment can have a better prognosis than any other tumor. Therefore, if you have sudden nasal congestion, just checking the inside of your nose through nasal specialist treatment can help diagnose and treat inverted papilloma early", he explained.

Inverted papilloma, medication is limited, and completely removing the part that causes the tumor through surgery is the most important way to prevent recurrence of the tumor. Recently, safe and minimally invasive tumor removal surgery has been performed using navigation and intranasal endoscopy.
