The inverted papilloma is a true neoplasm of the nose and paranasal sinuses with unusual biological and clinical characteristics. It is a benign process which exhibits certain malignant features such as recurrence, localized destruction of tissues and the possibility of malignant degeneration. Inverted papillomas occur most commonly on the lateral nasal wall, but a small percentage are discovered elsewhere including the ethmoid and sphenoid sinuses, the nasopharynx and the nasal septum. Controversy exists about whether septal papillomas are true inverted papillomas or whether they represent the more commonplace squamous papillomas found in the upper respiratory tract. Two case reports of inverted papillomas of the nasal septum are presented as well as a review of the literature on these neoplasms.
内翻性乳头状瘤是鼻腔和鼻窦的一种真性肿瘤，具有独特的生物学和临床特征。它是一种良性病变，但表现出某些恶性特征，如复发、局部组织破坏以及恶性变的可能性。内翻性乳头状瘤最常见于鼻腔外侧壁，但有一小部分发生在其他部位，包括筛窦和蝶窦、鼻咽部及鼻中隔。关于鼻中隔乳头状瘤是否为真正的内翻性乳头状瘤，或者它们是否代表上呼吸道中更为常见的鳞状乳头状瘤，目前存在争议。本文介绍了两例鼻中隔内翻性乳头状瘤的病例报告，并对这些肿瘤的相关文献进行了综述。
