Abstract
Background: Inverted papilloma is a benign epithelial tumour located in the sinonasal tract with a high recurrence rate and a potential of malignant transformation. From 2017, patients with IP were included in our fast-track regime similar to head and neck cancer patients, including follow-up at 2, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months after surgery, then yearly for a total of 5 years. Aims/objectives: This study aims to compare the recurrence rate and malignant transformation of patients with IP treated at a university centre following the implementation of a fast-track regime including a close follow-up. Methods: A retrospective study was performed on all patients with IP diagnosed between 2018 and 2022. Results: The study included 125 patients, all surgically treated for IP. Eight patients (6%) also presented with SCC at the time of diagnosis. The recurrence rate of benign IP was 17%. Most tumours originated in the maxillary sinus (48/117, 41%). No cases of metachronous cancer were seen during the follow-up. Conclusions and significance: The majority of recurrences (90%) occurred within the first 2 years after treatment. No cases of malignant transformation were seen in the follow-up period. The rigorous follow-up program potentially contributed to the detection of recurrence before malignant transformation.
