Since 2006, I have done 33 cases of inverted papilloma of sinus. 13 cases were followed up for more than 2 years, and no recurrence has been found so far, which can be regarded as cure. Patients who have been followed up for less than 2 years have no recurrence, but I can't regard them as cured. Because the internationally recognized inverted papilloma of paranasal sinuses requires at least 2 years of postoperative follow-up.
In fact, according to my clinical experience, the recurrence of inverted papilloma of paranasal sinuses is mostly within half a year, and the incidence of very few patients is very hidden. Even if it recurs, it is not easy to find it until the tumor grows up and blocks the drainage of paranasal sinuses. So I think those who have not found recurrence after careful endoscopic examination and magnetic resonance scanning of sinuses for half a year after operation can be considered as cured.
"The recurrence of inverted papilloma of sinus has nothing to do with the biological characteristics of the tumor, but with the thoroughness of the operation." This is what an American doctor said.
Wang Xianzhong, a doctor from Beijing Tongren Hospital, solemnly reminds me that because I can't meet the patient face to face, I can't fully understand the condition. The above suggestions are for reference only. Please go to the hospital for specific diagnosis and treatment under the guidance of a doctor! )
