An inverted papilloma, also known as Ringertz tumour,[1] is a type of tumor in which surface epithelial cells grow downward into the underlying supportive tissue. It may occur in the nose and/or sinuses or in the urinary tract (bladder, renal pelvis, ureter, urethra). When it occurs in the nose or sinuses, it may cause symptoms similar to those caused by sinusitis, such as nasal congestion. When it occurs in the urinary tract, it may cause blood in the urine.
Diagnosis
Inverted papillomas are definitively diagnosed by histologic examination. However, magnetic resonanace imaging (MRI) may show a characteristic feature described as a convoluted cerebriform pattern (CCP). A retrospective study published in the American Journal of Neuroradiology concluded that identification of CCP by MRI in a patient with a nasal tumor made the diagnosis of Inverted papilloma quite likely. The study reported the sensitivity and specificity to be 100% and 87% respectively. CCP can be associated with other malignant tumors as well.[2]
Treatment
Medial maxillectomy is the treatment of choice.[citation needed]
History
Inverted papillomae were first described by Nils Ringertz in 1938.[3] He reported their microscopic appearance and their tendency to grow into the connective tissue stroma.[citation needed]
