Abstract

Objectives

To evaluate the clinical and prognostic behaviors of sinonasal papillomas.

Methods

Patients diagnosed with sinonasal papilloma were reviewed between 2001 and 2016 at a tertiary rhinology practice. Using pathology-specific electronic medical record software, patients diagnosed with sinonasal papilloma were identified. Four subcategories of this lesion were identified: inverting (IP), exophytic (EP) oncocytic (OP) and inverting + exophytic (IP + EP) papillomas.

Results

A total of 107 patients were identified with unique sinonasal papilloma diagnoses. Of these, the majority were diagnosed with IP (87, 81.3%). The subpopulation of patients co-diagnosed with IP and EP (IP + EP) was unique with respect to clinical presentation and prognosis relative to both the IP and EP alone populations. IP + EP patients (5, 4.7%) were older with an average age of 75.25 years compared to 45 (EP) and 55.26 (IP), p < .0001. IP + EP patients more often presented with epistaxis (60%) compared to 33.3% (EP) and 4.6% (IP). Finally, all IP + EP patients had at least one recurrence of their disease, compared to 33.3% (EP) and 28.5% (IP).

Conclusions

Each histopathologic subtype of sinonasal papilloma has unique clinical characteristics and recurrence rates after surgical resection. The subpopulation of patients diagnosed with IP + EP tends to be older, more likely to present with epistaxis, and more likely to recur. Additional investigation and analysis of this subpopulation is warranted.

Level of Evidence

4.
