Objective To assess the surgical management of patients with inverted nasal papilloma over a 14‐year period. Study Design Retrospective study. Setting Tertiary health care center. Results Fifty‐three patients (38 males, 15 females) with an average age of 49.8 years were treated. Overall recurrence rate was 28% and a malignant association of 9% was shown. Recurrence rates varied from 27% in patients with more extensive disease involvement treated by lateral rhinotomy and medial maxillectomy, to 30% in patients with less extensive disease treated conservatively. Of the 5 patients with associated malignancy, 3 (6% of all patients) are likely to have undergone malignant transformation. Conclusion Aggressive initial management remains the therapeutic aim in this condition.
