Background
Inverted papilloma (IP) is a neoplasm of low frequency, which mainly occurs in patients in the 4th and 5th decade of life, and more often in men. Its presence in adolescents is rare and even more so in paediatric patients. Although it is considered a benign tumour, IP owns troubling biological characteristics, determined by a “not so benign” aggressive local growth, its high rate of recurrence, and risk of malignant transformation.
Case summary
The case is presented of a 9-year-old girl, in order to show that this neoplasm can also occur in children, and should be considered in the differential diagnosis of paediatric sinonasal tumours.
Conclusion
The inverted papilloma is a tumour that can occur in children, and its management should be the same as that applied in adults. This includes the complete resection, careful histopathological examination of the resected specimen, and long term follow-up.
