ABSTRACT: The inverted papilloma is an
uncommon unilateral benign unilateral tumor of the nose & paranasal
sinuses. Although a benign pathology,
it is associated with aggressive local destruction and recurrence after removal and malignancy. The clinical picture presents non-specific signs and symptoms, such as
unilateral nasal obstruction, anosmia and headache. Treatment is essentially
surgical. This report has the objective of presenting an uncommon bilateral nasal
inverted papilloma and the use of diode laser in surgical excision & making a literature
review. The uniqueness in our case was the use of diode laser in excision of
inverted papilloma.
