Recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP) is a rare but potentially severe disease caused by papillomavirus, most often types 6 and 11. The disease, which occurs in both juvenile and adult forms, is characterized by benign epithelial tumors of the airway that most frequently affect the larynx but
Laryngeal papillomatosis is one of the first diseases where interferon (IFN) was found to be effective. In 1983, a programme for the treatment of all such cases started in Cuba. Up to December 1991, 125 patients (92 children, 33 adults) have been treated: 102 with leucocyte IFN-alpha, 12 with
A 58-year-old man presented with a six-month history of intermittent blood-stained posterior nasal discharge. Five years ago, he had a three-week episode of fitful light headaches. Nasal ventilation, olfactory sensation, and facial sensation were normal; there were no ophthalmological complaints.
Inverted papilloma of the nose is an uncommon, but, well document ed lesion of the mucosal lining of the nose and paranasal sinuses. The manifestation of this disease are usually unilateral nasal obstruction, mucopurulent nasal discharge, anosinia and occasional headache. It is very rare to she this
OBJECTIVE
Primary inverting papilloma of the sphenoid sinus is rare. We present a case of inverting papilloma with isolated involvement of the sphenoid sinus and discuss the incidence, clinical presentation, radiographic features, histological findings, and management of patients with this
A 14 year old girl presented with a 6 months' history of headache with vomiting, ataxia and cerebellar signs. CT and MRI revealed obstructive hydrocephalus secondary to a large fourth ventricular mass which enhanced markedly on contrast administration. Histopathology of the resected mass revealed
Two cases of inverted papilloma with unilateral nasal obstruction since 2 years, bleeding from the nose and headache are described. Surgical treatment was applied. Histological examination revealed inverted papilloma.
BACKGROUND
Benign lesions of the nasal cavity represent a diverse group of pathologies. Furthermore, each of these disorders may present differently in any given patient as pain and discomfort, epistaxis, headaches, vision changes, or nasal obstruction. Although these nasal masses are benign, many
Introduction Inverted papilloma is a rare benign tumor of the nasal fossa, which usually originates from its lateral wall. Only 5% of cases demonstrate exclusive sinus involvement. Primary sphenoid sinus involvement is even rarer. Although considered a benign lesion, the tumor has a potentially
Laryngeal papillomatosis of viral origin and bad prognosis is characterized by multiple recurrence that induced obstruction of air pathways. Surgical remove with laser CO2 is the elected treatment and the its combination with interferon (INF) has improved the prognosis of this recurrent viral
Respiratory papillomatosis is a life-spoiling disease due to its high recurrence rate. Interferon (IFN)alpha-2b treatment, adjuvant to surgery, was assessed for its contribution to disease control and patient quality of life improvement. One hundred and sixty-nine patients (85 children and 84
BACKGROUND
The case of a 38-year old man with a histologically benign choroid plexus papilloma arising within the fourth ventricle with en plaque growth around the brain stem and medulla is described in detail. Up to this point this particular growth pattern has not been published and is a rare
Choroid plexus papillomas can metastasize to the subarachnoid space, but extensive metastasis has only been reported when the tumors are malignant. The authors report a case of diffuse, extensive metastasis to the craniospinal leptomeninges from a benign fourth ventricular choroid plexus papilloma
BACKGROUND
Isolated inverting papilloma (IP) of the sphenoid sinus is rare, with about 50 patients reported in the English-language literature. With its rarity, scientists have paid less attention to the clinical and radiographic characteristics of isolated IPs arising from the sphenoid
BACKGROUND
Choroid plexus papillomas are typically considered benign lesions, but histology is not always predictive of their behavior. These tumors can metastasize anywhere along the neuraxis and may be intraventricular, subarachnoid, or intraparenchymal. We present 2 cases that illustrate the wide
