[Inverted papilloma of the nose in patient after skin face transplantation].

INTRODUCTION

We discuss a case of 65 year old men with inverted papilloma of the right nose cavity. During childhood he had an operation of skin face transplantation prior to face haemangioma. He has no medical documentation from that time. For several months prior to hospitalisation he complained of right nasal cavity obstruction.

METHOD: In endoscopic examination we found red, fragile tumor filing posterior part of right nasal cavity and nasopharynx. Because of skin transplantation and residual haemangioma we choose sublabial and transplant technique of operation to avoid external facial incision.

RESULTS

We observed one recovery of the tumor after 3 months of observation which was sucessfully operated. Follow up for 10 months determine no recurrence in our patient.

CONCLUSIONS

Authors discuss various operation methods of inverted papilloma of the nose.
