Objectives: Benign sinonasal tumors (BST) are rare and
usually asymptomatic. When symptomatic or withpending
complications the surgical treatment, with endonasal and/
or external approaches, is recommended. The purpose of this
study was to evaluate the recent experience of the Hospital S.
João in the surgical treatment of BST.
Study Design: Retrospective study
Material and Methods: Evaluation of cases of BST treated
surgically between 2005 and 2009
Results: The most common tumor was inverted papillomas
(63%). The mean age at presentation was 52 years with male
predominance (68%). About 50% of tumors were located in
the lateral nasal wall. The endonasal surgical approach was
used in 84% of cases and combined approach (endonasal and
external) in 3 (16%).
There was recurrence in two cases of inverted papilloma and
another showed malignancy.
Conclusions: BST are frequent indication for surgery. Currently,
the approach of choice is endonasal. However, the external
approach is still vital in certain situations.
