چکیده
RATIONALE Sinonasal inverted papilloma (IP) is a locally aggressive tumor found in the schneiderian membrane, lining the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses. PATIENT CONCERNS We report a case of a 63-year-old woman with undifferentiated carcinoma (UC) arising in an IP in the left maxillary sinus. DIAGNOSES The preoperative diagnosis was IP of the maxillary sinus. INTERVENTIONS We performed endoscopic medial maxillectomy to remove the remnant mass in the left maxillary sinus. OUTCOMES Histological examination of the specimen revealed typical area of IP and sinonasal UC. LESSONS Clinicians should consider sinonasal UC in the differential diagnosis of malignancy arising in the sinonasal IP.

The purpose of this study was to elucidate if these tumors harbor amplifications of the fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 (FGFR1) gene, which has recently been identified as a potential therapeutic target in squamous cell lung cancer. METHODS One hundred twelve primary tumors (including squamous c...
متن کاملUndifferentiated carcinoma in oncocytic Schneiderian papilloma. A rarity.
The term Schneiderian mucosa refers to the ectodermally derived lining of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses, composed generally of stratified ciliated columnar cells, loose abundant lamina propria, and minor salivary glands and their ducts. This unique mucosa may give rise to three distinct histomorphologic papillomas collectively called Schneiderian papillomas. Hyams has described these v...
متن کاملLong-term follow-up of a patient with malignant transformation of inverted papilloma into sinonasal undifferentiated carcinoma
INTRODUCTION Inverted papillomas (IP) are benign sinonasal neoplasms, which account for 0.5-4% of all nasal tumors. IPs have been known to transform into squamous cell carcinoma in 5-15% of cases. Rarely, transformations to other malignancies have been reported. Here we report a unique case of malignant transformation of an IP into sinonasal undifferentiated carcinoma (SNUC). METHODS A case r...
