Int J Oral Maxillofac Surg. 2012 Mar;41(3):368-70. doi: 10.1016/j.ijom.2011.10.009. Epub 2011 Nov 6.

Abstract

Sinonasal papillomas are relatively rare, benign epithelial tumours of the nasal cavity. These lesions generate considerable interest because they are locally aggressive, have a tendency to recur and are associated with malignancy. The authors present a unique case of malignant sinonasal papilloma with neck metastasis. In the English literature only one case of such a presentation has been reported.
