Pathologic Collision of Inverted Papilloma with Esthesioneuroblastoma

BACKGROUND Inverted papilloma (IP) of the nasal cavity is a benign tumor that represents 0.5-4% of all nasal tumors and have been known to rarely undergo malignant transformation to squamous carcinoma and even more rarely adenocarcinoma. Synchronous association with low-grade esthesioneuroblastoma (ENB) has been reported in only one case report where a small-sized lesion was treated with surger...
