Abstract
BACKGROUND High-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) infection has been increasingly recognized as a risk factor for sinonasal tract carcinomas. However the prevalence and prognostic significance of HPV-associated sinonasal carcinomas is not well known due to limited studies and inconsistency in HPV testing modalities in literatures. Morphologically, HPV-associated sinonasal carcinomas encompass a diverse group of tumors. HPV-associated sinonasal adenocarcinoma has not been reported. The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence, morphologic spectrum and prognostic implication of HPV-associated sinonasal carcinomas. METHODS This cohort included 153 sinonasal carcinomas. Tissue microarrays were constructed. P16 immunohistochemistry and HR-HPV E6/7 in-situ Hybridization (ISH) were performed. Carcinomas were deemed HPV-associated based on a positive ISH testing. Clinicopathologic data was collected. RESULTS 28/153 (18%) sinonasal carcinomas were HPV-associated. HPV-associated carcinomas consisted of 26 (93%) squamous cell carcinomas and variants, 1 (3.5%) HPV-related multiphenotypic sinonasal carcinoma and 1 (3.5%) adenocarcinoma. The HPV-associated adenocarcinoma closely resembled HPV-associated endocervical adenocarcinoma morphologically. HPV-associated carcinomas occurred in 8 (29%) women and 20 (71%) men with a median age of 66 years old. HPV-associated carcinomas were predominantly located at nasal cavity. A trend toward improved overall survival and progression free survival in HPV-associated carcinomas patients was observed, yet without statistical significance. CONCLUSION Our study identifies a novel HPV-associated sinonasal adenocarcinoma subtype, highlights the broad morphologic spectrum of HPV-associated sinonasal carcinomas, and supports routine p16 testing during pathology practice regardless of tumor subtype followed by a confirmatory HR-HPV testing. This practice is critical for studying the clinical behavior of HPV-associated sinonasal carcinomas.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Inverted papilloma (IP) is a sinonasal tumor with a well-known potential for malignant transformation. The role of human papillomavirus (HPV) in its pathogenesis has been controversial. The purpose of this study was to determine the virome associated with IP, with progression to carcinoma in situ (CIS), and invasive carcinoma. METHODS To determine the HPV-specific types, a metagenomics assay that contains 62,886 probes targeting viral genomes in a microarray format was used. The platform screens DNA and RNA from fixed tissues from eight controls, 16 IP without dysplasia, five IP with CIS, and 13 IP-associated squamous cell carcinoma (IPSCC). Paired with next-generation sequencing, 48 types of HPV with 857 region-specific probes were interrogated against the tumors. RESULTS The prevalence of HPV-16 was 14%, 42%, 70%, and 73% in control tissue, IP without dysplasia, IP with CIS, and IPSCC, respectively. The prevalence of HPV-18 had a similar progressive increase in prevalence, with 14%, 27%, 67%, and 74%, respectively. The assay allowed region-specific analysis, which identified the only oncogenic HPV-18 E6 to be statistically significant when compared with control tissue. The prevalence of HPV-18 E6 was 0% in control tissue, 25% in IP without dysplasia, 60% in IP with CIS, and 77% in IPSCC. CONCLUSIONS There are over 200 HPV types that infect human epithelial cells, of which only a few are known to be high-risk. Our study demonstrated a trend of increasing prevalence of HPV-18 E6 that correlated with histologic severity, which is novel and supports a potential role for HPV in the pathogenesis of IP.

Abstract
The sinonasal tract is considered a second hotspot for human papillomavirus (HPV)-related tumors in the head and neck, with HPV being identified in up to 62% of squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs) and 38% of papillomas. There is limited data from geographical regions with low prevalence of high-risk (HR)-HPV on the association of HR-HPV in sinonasal neoplasms and on utility of p16 as a surrogate marker. p16 immunohistochemistry, HR-HPV mRNA ISH and quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) were performed on a retrospective cohort of sinonasal papillomas and SCCs. KRAS mutation analysis was done in oncocytic papillomas. p16 positivity was present in 22/142 cases (15.5%) including eight inverted papillomas, one oncocytic papilloma (OP), and 13 SCC. Among these, mRNA ISH showed HR-HPV in the OP and two SCC, while another SCC was found to harbour HPV18 by qPCR. Two HPV-associated SCCs had foci of OP. mRNA ISH was negative in all p16 negative cases. p16 immunohistochemistry showed 68% concordance with mRNA ISH, and had sensitivity and negative predictive value of 100%; specificity was 67%, and positive predictive value was 14.3%. Association with HR-HPV in sinonasal papillomas and SCC is rare, and may be seen in cases demonstrating oncocytic morphology. p16 immunohistochemistry has low specificity and positive predictive value in low-prevalence populations; thus, reflex direct HR-HPV testing should be performed in p16 immunopositive cases. This two-step approach is viable in resource-limited settings, as the proportion of p16 positive cases is small.

Abstract
Objective Sinonasal inverted papilloma (IP) and its clinical features have been widely studied, but there are few studies delving into its etiology and risk factors. A narrative review was conducted to summarize a contemporary understanding of the potential etiologies of IP, including immunologic/inflammatory, viral, genetic, and environmental causes. Study Design Review. Methods A MEDLINE search was conducted through August 11, 2021, focusing on studies investigating the etiology and risk factors for sinonasal IP and its malignant transformation. Results High- and low-risk human papillomavirus have been connected with the formation of IP, but conflicting evidence exists regarding their role. Occupational and industrial exposures may also contribute to IP formation, while smoking may increase the odds of malignant progression. Exon 20 mutations in EGFR are an active area of research in IP with mixed evidence. Finally, several cell cycle and angiogenic factors such as Ki67, VEGF, and Akt/mTOR have been implicated in the development and progression of IP. Conclusion There continues to be conflicting evidence around the development of IP, but significant progress has been made in recent years. Further study is needed for all these potential etiologies to elucidate risk factors and therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
There is limited literature detailing the histology of pharyngeal papillomas. Herein, we report our experience with papillomas occurring in the oro-and nasopharynx that have both squamous and respiratory features akin to the sinonasal Schneiderian papilloma. We retrospectively reviewed pharyngeal papillomas that were composed of both squamous and respiratory epithelium received at our institution between 2010 and 2020. Cases of sinonasal papillomas directly extending into the pharynx were excluded. Immunohistochemistry for p16 as well as RNA in situ hybridization to evaluate for 6 low-risk and 18 high-risk HPV genotypes were performed on all cases. Thirteen cases were included. Mean age was 61 with 12 males and 1 female. While often incidentally found, presenting symptoms included globus sensation, hemoptysis, and hoarseness of voice. Histologically, all tumors consisted of squamous and respiratory epithelium with neutrophilic infiltrates arranged in an exophytic/papillary architecture that was reminiscent of the exophytic type of Schneiderian papilloma. Immunohistochemistry for p16 was negative in all papillomas. 85% were positive for low-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) subtypes and all were negative for high-risk HPV subtypes. A well-differentiated, invasive squamous cell carcinoma was associated with two of the cases. Papillomas with squamous and respiratory features similar to the sinonasal exophytic Schneiderian papilloma can arise in the oro- and nasopharynx and like their sinonasal counterparts show an association with HPV. While many in this series were benign, they can be harbingers for invasive squamous cell carcinoma.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Human papillomavirus (HPV) is an established prognostic marker in oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma. Currently, the role of HPV in sinonasal carcinoma is being explored. OBJECTIVES This systematic review addresses the role of HPV in sinonasal cancer, establishing the occurrence of HPV-positive cancers and the influence of HPV-positivity on prognosis in sinonasal cancer as well as the utility of the putative surrogate marker of HPV (p16) in sinonasal cancer. MATERIAL AND METHODS Studies were identified with searches of Medline via PubMed and Embase via OVID (4 May 2020). Articles on original research concerning sinonasal cancer and HPV in humans written in English were included. Case reports with less than five cases were excluded. RESULTS Initially, 545 articles were identified; 190 duplicate articles were removed leaving 355 articles for title/abstract screening. Title/abstract screening excluded 243 articles, leaving 112 studies assessed for eligibility. After full-text screening, 57 studies were included. All articles investigated the significance of HPV in sinonasal carcinomas. HPV was reported in approximately 30% of sinonasal squamous cell carcinoma (SNSCC), where it was associated with a better prognosis. In sinonasal cancer, p16 is associated with diagnostic pitfalls and a putative utility of p16 in SNSCC has yet to be established. HPV was not frequently reported in other types of sinonasal carcinomas, besides the recently described subtype, HPV-dependent Multiphenotypic Sinonasal Carcinoma. In other types of sinonasal carcinoma, HPV is not frequently found. CONCLUSION Approximately 30% of SNSCC are HPV-positive. HPV-positivity in SNSCC is associated with improved survival. HPV occurs only rarely in other sinonasal cancers. There is currently not sufficient evidence for p16 as a surrogate marker of HPV in SNSCC.

Abstract
Head and neck cancer (HNC) usually arises from squamous cells of the upper aerodigestive tract that line the mucosal surface in the head and neck region. In India, HNC is common in males, and it is the sixth most common cancer globally. Conventionally, HNC attributes to the use of alcohol or chewing tobacco. Over the past four decades, portions of human papillomavirus (HPV)-positive HNC are increasing at an alarming rate. Identification based on the etiological factors and molecular signatures demonstrates that these neoplastic lesions belong to a distinct category that differs in pathological characteristics and therapeutic response. Slow development in HNC therapeutics has resulted in a low 5-year survival rate in the last two decades. Interestingly, HPV-positive HNC has shown better outcomes following conservative treatments and immunotherapies. This raises demand to have a pre-therapy assessment of HPV status to decide the treatment strategy. Moreover, there is no HPV-specific treatment for HPV-positive HNC patients. Accumulating evidence suggests that phytochemicals are promising leads against HNC and show potential as adjuvants to chemoradiotherapy in HNC. However, only a few of these phytochemicals target HPV. The aim of the present article was to collate data on various leading phytochemicals that have shown promising results in the prevention and treatment of HNC in general and HPV-driven HNC. The review explores the possibility of using these leads against HPV-positive tumors as some of the signaling pathways are common. The review also addresses various challenges in the field that prevent their use in clinical settings.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Prior studies suggest that there may be a link between human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and malignant sinonasal inverted papilloma (SNIP). This systematic review and meta-analysis was performed to further evaluate this potential association. STUDY DESIGN Systematic review with meta-analysis. METHODS The Medline and Embase databases were used to identify case-control studies reporting the risk of malignant SNIP in patients with high-risk HPV subtypes identified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Meta-analysis was performed to determine pooled odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CI). RESULTS Twenty-one studies were identified, including a total of 841 subjects with SNIP. Seventeen studies were included in the final analysis, as four studies did not have any HPV-positive tumors in either group. A total of 56 malignant SNIP and 551 benign SNIP were ultimately identified. The pooled log-OR was 1.80 (95% CI: 1.03-2.57) for all high-risk HPV subtypes. Stratification by high-risk HPV subtype showed a log-OR of 1.67 (95% CI: 0.88-2.46) for HPV-16 and log-OR of 2.68 (95% CI: 1.30-4.05) for HPV-18. CONCLUSION Infection with high-risk HPV subtypes may be associated with an increased risk of malignant SNIP. HPV-18 showed the greatest overall average effect size of the common high-risk subtypes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To date, there is still a significant debate on the role of human papilloma virus (HPV) infection in transformation of inverted papillomas (IPs) to squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). This study was designed to determine if the presence of HPV in a sinonasal IP increases the risk of malignant transformation to IPSCC. METHODS Following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, 19 high-quality case-control and cohort studies with tissue-diagnosed IP or IPSCC and HPV diagnosis were analyzed. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated using the Mantel-Haenszel method with correction for random effects. Subgroup, publication bias and a sensitivity analyses were also performed. RESULTS Nineteen studies with minimal bias met the inclusion criteria for quality and identified HPV infection in an IP. The pooled data revealed a strong association with progression to malignancy with an unweighted, pooled OR of 2.38 (CI95 1.47 to 3.83) and a weighted OR of 2.80 (CI95 1.42 to 5.51). Sensitivity analysis revealed that no single study contributed significantly to our pooled OR calculations (ORs 2.52 to 3.57). Subgroup analyses stratified by publication date, nucleic acid target, HPV detection method and type, sample size, and region all demonstrated a positive association of HPV with IPSCC. CONCLUSIONS There appears to be a significant association between HPV infection and malignant transformation of IPs. While HPV testing is not currently the standard of care for IPs, these data suggest a link between the two and suggest further studies should be performed to identify a link between the virus and malignant transformation.

OBJECTIVE Sinonasal inverted papilloma (SNIP) is a benign tumor characterized by an aggressive growth, a tendency to recur, and an association with malignancy. However, the precise etiology of SNIP is still unknown. The objective of this study was to identify the expression pattern of speckled protein 100 (Sp100) in the malignant transformation (MT) of SNIP and its correlation with human papillomavirus (HPV)-16 and HPV-18 infections and other clinical features. This would further help in understanding the possible mechanisms for the development of SNIP. METHODS Individual nasal mucosa specimens from 40 patients (25 males and 15 females) and 10 inferior turbinate specimens as controls were included in the present study. The samples were divided into several sections for histopathological examination, HPV DNA detection, and immunohistochemical staining. RESULTS We observed that as SNIP progressed, the Sp100 protein expression was gradually downregulated, and SP100 localization changed from nucleus to the cytoplasm. Positive rate of HPV infection in the SNIP with MT group was higher than that in the other groups, and Sp100 expression was correlated to HPV infections and SNIP with MT. However, no correlation was observed between Sp100 expression and clinical features, such as age, gender, and smoking. CONCLUSION Positive rate of HPV infection is high in the SNIP with MT and has a correlation with Sp100 expression. In addition, the expression of Sp100 is downregulated in SNIP with MT, and Sp100 may play a role in the progression of SNIP.

Human Papillomavirus in Sinonasal Squamous Cell Carcinoma: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. Cancers (Basel) 2020; 13:cancers13010045. [PMID: 33561073 PMCID: PMC7796014 DOI: 10.3390/cancers13010045] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/24/2020] [Revised: 12/19/2020] [Accepted: 12/21/2020] [Indexed: 12/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Simple Summary The causative role of human papillomavirus (HPV) in sinonasal squamous cell carcinoma (SNSCC) remains unclear and is hindered by small studies using variable HPV detection techniques. This meta-analysis aims to provide an updated overview of HPV prevalence in SNSCC stratified by detection method, anatomic subsite, and geographic region. From 60 eligible studies, an overall HPV prevalence was estimated at 26%. When stratified by detection method, HPV prevalence was lower when using multiple substrate testing compared to single substrate testing. Anatomic subsite HPV prevalence was higher in subsites with high exposure to secretion flow compared to low exposure subsites. HPV prevalence in SNSCC followed the global distribution of HPV+ oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma. Taken together, this meta-analysis further supports a role for HPV in a subset of SNSCCs. Abstract Human papillomavirus (HPV) drives tumorigenesis in a subset of oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinomas (OPSCC) and is increasing in prevalence across the world. Mounting evidence suggests HPV is also involved in a subset of sinonasal squamous cell carcinomas (SNSCC), yet small sample sizes and variability of HPV detection techniques in existing literature hinder definitive conclusions. A systematic review was performed by searching literature through March 29th 2020 using PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science Core Collection databases. Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines were followed by two authors independently. A meta-analysis was performed using the random-effects model. Sixty studies (n = 1449) were eligible for statistical analysis estimating an overall HPV prevalence of 25.5% (95% CI 20.7–31.0). When stratified by HPV detection method, prevalence with multiple substrate testing (20.5%, 95% CI 14.5–28.2) was lower than with single substrate testing (31.7%, 95% CI 23.6–41.1), highest in high-exposure anatomic subsites (nasal cavity and ethmoids) (37.6%, 95% CI 26.5–50.2) vs. low-exposure (15.1%, 95% CI 7.3–28.6) and highest in high HPV+ OPSCC prevalence geographic regions (North America) (30.9%, 95% CI 21.9–41.5) vs. low (Africa) (13.1, 95% CI 6.5–24.5)). While small sample sizes and variability in data cloud firm conclusions, here, we provide a new reference point prevalence for HPV in SNSCC along with orthogonal data supporting a causative role for virally driven tumorigenesis, including that HPV is more commonly found in sinonasal subsites with increased exposure to refluxed oropharyngeal secretions and in geographic regions where HPV+ OPSCC is more prevalent.

Abstract
Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is a heterogeneous group of cancers. Collectively, HNSCC ranks sixth in incidence rate worldwide. Apart from classical risk factors like tobacco and alcohol, infection of human papillomavirus (HPV) is emerging as a discrete risk factor for HNSCC. HPV-positive HNSCC represent a distinct group of diseases that differ in their clinical presentation. These lesions are well-differentiated, occur at an early age, and have better prognosis. Epidemiological studies have demonstrated a specific increase in the proportions of the HPV-positive HNSCC. HPV-positive and HPV-negative HNSCC lesions display different disease progression and clinical response. For tumorigenic-transformation, HPV essentially requires a permissive cellular environment and host cell factors for induction of viral transcription. As the spectrum of host factors is independent of HPV infection at the time of viral entry, presumably entry of HPV only selects host cells that are permissive to establishment of HPV infection. Growing evidence suggest that HPV plays a more active role in a subset of HNSCC, where they are transcriptionally-active. A variety of factors provide a favorable environment for HPV to become transcriptionally-active. The most notable are the set of transcription factors that have direct binding sites on the viral genome. As HPV does not have its own transcription machinery, it is fully dependent on host transcription factors to complete the life cycle. Here, we review and evaluate the current evidence on level of a subset of host transcription factors that influence viral genome, directly or indirectly, in HNSCC. Since many of these transcription factors can independently promote carcinogenesis, the composition of HPV permissive transcription factors in a tumor can serve as a surrogate marker of a separate molecularly-distinct class of HNSCC lesions including those cases, where HPV could not get a chance to infect but may manifest better prognosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the risk of malignant sinonasal inverted papilloma (SNIP) according to the type of human papilloma virus (HPV) infection. METHODS The databases of PubMed, EmBase, and Web of Science were searched for studies that reported the risk of malignant SNIP in patients infected by specific types of HPV. The quantitative analyses for pooled odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated. RESULTS Twenty-six molecular epidemiological studies that recruited a total of 900 patients with SNIP were selected for the final meta-analysis. The summary ORs indicated that HPV-6 (OR: 2.02; 95% CI: 0.47-8.61; P = .343), HPV-11 (OR: 0.86; 95% CI: 0.26-2.89; P = .806), and HPV-6/11 (OR: 1.44; 95% CI: 0.59-3.53; P = .426) infections were not associated with the risk of malignant SNIP. However, the risk of malignant SNIP was increased in patients infected with HPV-16 (OR: 8.51; 95% CI: 3.36-21.59; P < .001), HPV-11/16 (OR: 7.95; 95% CI: 1.13-56.01; P = .038), HPV-18 (OR: 23.26; 95% CI: 5.27-102.73; P < .001), and HPV-16/18 (OR: 24.34; 95% CI: 5.74-103.18; P < .001). CONCLUSIONS This study found that patients infected with HPV types 16, 11/16, 18, and 16/18 were associated with an increased risk of malignant SNIP. However, patients infected with HPV types 6, 11, and 6/11 did not have a significant risk of malignant SNIP. Laryngoscope, 131:1200-1205, 2021.

Abstract
Sinonasal inverted papillomas (IPs) are rare tumours arising from the nasal epithelial mucosa. Most lesions are benign, but a subset of IPs progress to dysplasia and squamous cell carcinoma. Although the epidemiology and clinical features of IPs are well known, the pathogenesis is still unclear. Given the established role of human papillomaviruses (HPVs) in the formation of other mucosal tumours including cervical and oropharyngeal cancer, some have suggested the virus may play a role in IP development. However, the association between HPV and IPs has not yet been proven, and the variable detection of HPV DNA in IPs has cast uncertainty on whether the virus plays a major role in pathogenesis. In this review, we summarize early clinical reports and synthesize recent studies that may elucidate the association between HPV and IPs. We also discuss the role HPV may have in the progression of benign IP to dysplasia and malignancy, as well as potential pathological mechanisms. We hope that synthesizing the initial and recent studies on this topic will not only lead to a better understanding of research in the role of HPV in IP development, but also help guide and contextualize future studies.

Abstract
Sinonasal papilloma is a relatively rare disease. However, it is prevalent enough for every otorhinolaryngologist to encounter it several times throughout one's medical practice. The aim of this study was to identify the presence of Human Papilloma Virus in sinonasal specimens of patients with sinonasal papilloma. A cross sectional analytical study was performed on fresh tissue samples from 36 patients with sinonasal papilloma. Samples were studied by polymerase chain reaction for of Human Papilloma Virus detection. In conclusion, the majority of patients were of Human Papilloma Virus negative and there was no statistically significant difference in presence of squamous cell carcinoma in of Human Papilloma Virus positive and negative patients. Thus, further studies are needed to assess other potential factors that may influence the development of sinonasal papilloma.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The association of human papillomavirus (HPV) with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) was first described in 1982-1983 by the authors of this review. Prompted by this discovery 35 years ago, an entirely new field of HPV research has emerged, resulting in a paradigm shift from smoking and alcohol as the only etiological factors to confirmation of HNSCC as an important group of HPV-related human malignancies. SUMMARY In this review, the authors first describe the scope (i.e., HNSCC) by the anatomic sites of the tumors. Their important site-specific differences in epidemiology are emphasized, and the misconceptions caused by the adopted practice of pooling all tumors from these divergent anatomic sites as a single entity (HNSCC) are pinpointed. The convincing evidence of the established risk factors (smoking and alcohol) is briefly addressed, before entering in the discussion on the causal role of HPV in HNSCC pathogenesis. The global HPV prevalence in different subsets of HNSCC is summarized using the data extracted from all meta-analyses published since 2010. Of all HNSCC subsets, oropharyngeal SCC has an HPV profile distinct form all the other subsets, and the possible mechanisms explaining this intimate association with HPV are discussed. Key Messages: Recent global trends show a constant increase in HNSCC rates particularly among younger age groups. The evidence on cigarette smoking and alcohol consumption as the prime risk factors of HNSCC is overwhelming. During the past 35 years, however, increasing evidence has accumulated implicating an important causal role of HPV in HNSCC. These data have important clinical implications, HPV detection and tailored treatment strategies for HPV-positive HNSCCs currently being an integral part of the oncological management practices of HNSCC.

Abstract
Inverted papilloma (IP) is a locally destructive, benign neoplasm of the nose and paranasal sinuses with a high tendency for recurrence, a significant potential for malignancy, and an etiology that today is still uncertain. The expression of hormonal receptors in neoplastic tissues has been the focus of intensive research for its potential diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic significance. The aim of this study was to assess the potential estroprogestinic receptor expression in patients undergoing sinus surgery for IP. A retrospective study was carried out, on surgical specimens of 73 patients who underwent endoscopic sinus surgery for first manifestation of sinonasal IP (primitive IP group) and in 21 subjects who had developed a recurrence (relapsed IP group). The results of the immunohistochemical analysis of the first group showed the absence of receptor expression for PGR in all cases analyzed and the presence of a low positivity for ER in 11 cases (P > 0.082). Similarly, in the second group the results showed a low presence of ER receptors in 3 of the 21 cases (P > 0.068), while there was no evidence of PGR receptors in the examined samples. In addition, in 11 of the cases only 3 were considered positive (27.2%) showing a recurrence during follow-up (P > 0.068). Our results suggest that the sinonasal IP is a benign tumor independent of estrogen and progesterone, and the receptors for these hormones are therefore unsuitable as predictors of relapse or possible prognostic indicators and therapeutic targets.

Abstract
Inverted papillomas are rare tumors of unknown histologic origin occurring in the nasal cavity and the paranasal sinuses. Specimens from 27 patients with histologically confirmed inverted papillomas were assessed by DNA analysis and immunohistochemical identification of the proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA). One of the patients had squamous cell carcinoma associated with the inverted papilloma. According to the results of DNA analysis, patients with inverted papillomas would be divided into two groups. One group demonstrated low DNA indices and a low PCNA score. The second group showed higher DNA values associated with an increased proliferation rate. Two patients from each group developed recurrent disease. The recurrent papillomas from the patients in the first group demonstrated the same low DNA indices as were observed in the primary tumors. The recurrences from the patients in the second group occurred 1.5 and 2 years, respectively, following the primary surgery. Although the primary tumors had high DNA indices, the recurrences demonstrated a further increase of the DNA indices with cytological signs of malignancy. Quantitative DNA analysis and PCNA scoring offers a new, reliable means of assessing inverted papillomas and may possibly predict those tumors that behave more aggressively. Close follow up of patients presenting with high DNA indices and elevated PCNA scores is recommended.

Abstract
Schneiderian papillomas are uncommon tumors which may develop within the nasal cavity and comprise three well-defined histological types: sinonasal inverted papilloma (SNIP), exophytic papilloma, and oncocytic papilloma. It is well known the rate of Schneiderian papilloma may also present a malignant degeneration and SNIP represents the most important subgroup in consideration of its frequency and malignant propensity. Although HPV infection is always considered the first event favoring the development of SNIP, however, it is not established as an eventual connection between viral actions and malignant transformation. In fact, different molecular mechanisms are suspected to play a crucial role in this process and, currently, many authors agree that only by improving our knowledge about these mechanisms it will be possible to achieve new and effective targeted therapies. So the aim of this study was firstly to systematically review the literature focusing on different biomarkers that could be implicated in the stages of SNIP malignant degeneration. Secondly, a systematic review with meta-analysis was performed to better define the incidence of sinonasal malignancies originating from Schneiderian papilloma (SNIP, exophytic papilloma, and oncocytic papilloma). Twenty-nine studies comprising a total of 3177 patients were statistically analyzed. Results showed a 9% (95% CI = 7-11) overall rate of malignant transformation from Schneiderian papilloma. In conclusion, this analysis confirmed that the potential malignancy of Schneiderian papilloma should not be underestimated. On the other hand, our review showed the paucity of studies investigating the molecular alterations which may be related with the malignant transformation of SNIP.

Abstract
Sinonasal (Schneiderian) papillomas are benign neoplasms that arise in the sinonasal tract. Since their initial descriptions, sinonasal papillomas have triggered debate regarding their classification, etiology, rate or predictors of malignant transformation, and other issues. While significant strides have been made in recent years, there are still aspects of sinonasal papillomas that remain unclear even now. This review will serve to update the practicing pathologist on the current understanding of sinonasal papillomas.

Abstract
The interesting history of papillomavirus (PV) research has been reviewed before. The history of human papillomavirus (HPV) in head and neck region starts in 1901 when the contagious transmission of warty lesions into the mouth via oral sex was described, although the confirmation of their viral etiology had to wait until 1907. Ullman was the first to associate the human wart virus with laryngeal warts. Parsons and Kidd described the natural history of oral PV infections in rabbits already in 1942, but these findings were corroborated in humans only recently. Koilocytotic atypia described by Koss and Durfee in 1956 was recognized as a sign of HPV infection in cervical precancer lesions only in 1976-1977 (Meisels and Fortin; Purola and Savia). This prompted systematic surveys of head and neck lesions for the detection of koilocytosis since the late 1970s, and the authors of this communication were the first to propose the HPV involvement in a subgroup of head and neck cancers. Brandsma and Abramson demonstrated HPV16 DNA in tonsillar SCCs in 1989. Since the early 2000s, HPV research of head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC) has made impressive progress, confirming that the specific anatomic site plays a key role in determining the susceptibility to HPV infection. The most likely cancer sites associated with HPV are the base of the tongue and palatine tonsils, followed by oral cavity, larynx, and sinonasal mucosa. There is substantial geographic variation in HPV association with HNSCC. Patients with HPV-associated HNSCC are younger, and survival is better than in the absence of HPV.

Human papillomavirus infection and the malignant transformation of sinonasal inverted papilloma: A meta-analysis. J Clin Virol 2016; 79:36-43.

Abstract
A growing number of molecular epidemiological studies have been conducted to evaluate the association between human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and the malignancy of sinonasal inverted papilloma (SNIP). However, the results remain inconclusive. Here, a meta-analysis was conducted to quantitatively assess this association. Case-control studies investigating SNIP tissues for presence of HPV DNA were identified. The odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated by the Mantel-Haenszel method. An assessment of publication bias and sensitivity analysis were also performed. We calculated a pooled OR of 2.16 (95% CI=1.46-3.21, P<0.001) without statistically significant heterogeneity or publication bias. Stratification by HPV type showed a stronger association for patients with high-risk HPV (hrHPV) types, HPV-16, HPV-18, and HPV-16/18 infection (OR=8.8 [95% CI: 4.73-16.38], 8.04 [95% CI: 3.34-19.39], 18.57 [95% CI: 4.56-75.70], and 26.24 [4.35-158.47], respectively). When only using PCR studies, pooled ORs for patients with hrHPV, HPV-16, and HPV18 infection still reached statistical significance. However, Egger's test reflected significant publication bias in the HPV-16 sub-analysis (P=0.06), and the adjusted OR was no longer statistically significant (OR=1.65, 95%CI: 0.58-4.63). These results suggest that HPV infection, especially hrHPV (HPV-18), is significantly associated with malignant SNIP.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Assess human papilloma virus (HPV) transcriptional activity in inverted Schneiderian papillomas (IPs). STUDY DESIGN Case series with chart review. SETTING Academic tertiary care center. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Retrospective clinicopathologic review of 19 cases of IP in patients undergoing surgical excision from 1995 to 2013 at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. Surgical pathology archival material was histopathologically reviewed using hematoxylin and eosin-stained slides. Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded material from each case was evaluated for p16 expression using immunohistochemistry as well as HPV DNA and E6/E7 messenger RNA (mRNA) transcription using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and in situ hybridization (via RNAscope technology), respectively. RESULTS Eight patients were female (42%), with an average age of 53 years (range, 23-82 years). Three demonstrated malignancy, and 5 subsequently recurred. Average follow-up was 49 months (range, 0-200 months), and 1 patient died from squamous cell carcinoma arising from the IP. RNAscope detected HPV mRNA transcripts exclusively within IP in 100% of cases; however, in 11 patients (58%), less than 1% of cells exhibited transcriptional activity. Only 2 of 19 cases (11%) demonstrated mRNA activity in 50% or more cells. HPV DNA was detected in only 2 specimens by PCR. CONCLUSIONS This study reveals wide prevalence but limited transcriptional activity of HPV in IP. No correlation between HPV transcriptional activity and progression, recurrence, or malignant transformation was identified. These data suggest that transcription of HPV may contribute to the pathogenesis of IP, but prospective data are needed to definitively demonstrate this connection. These results also suggest that RNAscope may be more sensitive than PCR in detecting HPV activity in IP.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Inverted papillomas are a benign sinonasal tumor with a propensity for recurrence and malignant transformation. Although many investigations have been made into the nature of this disease, its etiology and causes for malignant transformation have yet to be fully elucidated. It is the authors' objective to present a review on management of the disease and evaluate the present relationship between human papilloma virus (HPV) and inverted papilloma. RECENT FINDINGS A causal relationship between HPV and the pathogenesis and progression of inverted papilloma has been posited since the 1980s. Although widely varied HPV detection rates have been reported, recent studies have noted a substantial increase in both recurrence and malignant transformation in HPV-infected inverted papillomas. However, exact cellular mechanisms by which infection leads to subsequent recurrence and development of carcinoma have yet to be elucidated. SUMMARY Evidence exists suggesting that HPV infection plays a role in the progression of inverted papilloma and confers an increased risk for recurrence and malignant transformation. PCR is the preferred detection method, and fresh or frozen specimens are the ideal source of tissue for evaluation. Although multiple studies have detected an association between HPV and inverted papilloma (both recurrent and malignant transformation), further studies are necessary to elucidate the underlying molecular pathways before an association can be changed to causation.

Abstract
Aim of the study To perform a systematic review and formal meta-analysis of the literature reporting on HPV detection in bronchial squamous cell papillomas (SCP). Material and methods The literature was searched up to June 2012. The effect size was calculated as event rate (95% CI), with homogeneity testing using Cochran's Q and I2 statistics. Meta-regression was used to test the impact of study-level covariates (HPV detection method, geographic origin) on effect size, and potential publication bias was estimated using funnel plot symmetry. Results Fifteen studies were eligible, covering 89 bronchial SCPs from different geographic regions. Altogether, 38 (42.7%) cases tested HPV-positive; effect size 0.422 (95% CI: 0.311–0.542; fixed effects model), and 0.495 (95% CI: 0.316–0.675; random effects model). In meta-analysis stratified by i) HPV detection technique and ii) geographic study origin, the between-study heterogeneity was not significant for either; p = 0.348, and p = 0.792, respectively. In maximum likelihood meta-regression, HPV detection method (p = 0.150) and geographic origin of the study (p = 0.164) were not significant study-level covariates. Some evidence for publication bias was found only among in situ hybridization (ISH)-based studies and among studies from Europe, but with a negligible effect on summary effect size estimates. In sensitivity analysis, the meta-analytic results were robust to all one-by-one study removals. Conclusions In formal meta-regression, the variability in HPV detection rates reported in bronchial SCPs is not explained by the HPV detection method or geographic origin of the study.

Abstract
High-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) is an established cause of head and neck carcinomas arising in the oropharynx. The presence of HPV has also been reported in some carcinomas arising in the sinonasal tract, but little is known about their overall incidence or their clinicopathologic profile. The surgical pathology archives of The Johns Hopkins Hospital were searched for all carcinomas arising in the sinonasal tract from 1995 to 2011, and tissue microarrays were constructed. p16 immunohistochemical analysis and DNA in situ hybridization for high-risk types of HPV were performed. Demographic and clinical outcome data were extracted from patient medical records. Of 161 sinonasal carcinomas, 34 (21%) were positive for high-risk HPV DNA, including type 16 (82%), type 31/33 (12%), and type 18 (6%). HPV-positive carcinomas consisted of 28 squamous cell carcinomas and variants (15 nonkeratinizing or partially keratinizing, 4 papillary, 5 adenosquamous, 4 basaloid), 1 small cell carcinoma, 1 sinonasal undifferentiated carcinoma, and 4 carcinomas that were difficult to classify but exhibited adenoid cystic carcinoma-like features. Immunohistochemistry for p16 was positive in 59/161 (37%) cases, and p16 expression strongly correlated with the presence of HPV DNA: 33 of 34 (97%) HPV-positive tumors exhibited high p16 expression, whereas only 26 of 127 (20%) HPV-negative tumors were p16 positive (P<0.0001). The HPV-related carcinomas occurred in 19 men and 15 women ranging in age from 33 to 87 years (mean, 54 y). A trend toward improved survival was observed in the HPV-positive group (hazard ratio=0.58, 95% confidence interval [0.26, 1.28]). The presence of high-risk HPV in 21% of sinonasal carcinomas confirms HPV as an important oncologic agent of carcinomas arising in the sinonasal tract. Although nonkeratinizing squamous cell carcinoma is the most common histologic type, there is a wide morphologic spectrum of HPV-related disease that includes a variant that resembles adenoid cystic carcinoma. The distinctiveness of these HPV-related carcinomas of the sinonasal tract with respect to risk factors, clinical behavior, and response to therapy remains to be clarified.

Abstract
Skull base inverted papilloma (IP) is an unusual entity for many neurosurgeons. IP is renowned for its high rate of recurrence, its ability to cause local destruction, and its association with malignancy. This paper is a comprehensive review of the reports, studies, and reviews published in the current biomedical literature from 1947 to September 2010 and synthesize this information to focus on its potential invasion to the base of the skull and possible intradural extension. The objective is to familiarize the clinician with the different aspects of this unusual disease. The role of modern diagnostic tools in medical imaging in order to assess clearly the limits of the tumors and to enhance the efficiency and the safety in the choice of a surgical approach is pointed out. The treatment guidelines for IP have undergone a complex evolution that continues today. Radical excision of the tumour is technically difficult and often incomplete. Successful management of IP requires resection of the affected mucosa which could be achieved with open surgery, endoscopic, or combined approach. Radio and chemotherapy were used for certain indications. More optimally research would be a multicenter randomized trials with large size cohorts.

Abstract
Since first suggested (in 1983), the etiological role for human papillomavirus (HPV) in sinonasal carcinomas has been subject to constantly increasing interest. To perform systematic review and formal meta-analysis of the literature reporting on HPV detection in sinonasal squamous cell carcinomas (SCC), literature was searched through May 2012. The effect size was calculated as event rates (95% CI), with homogeneity testing using Cochran Q and I(2) statistics. Meta-regression was used to test the impact of study-level covariates (HPV detection method, geographic origin, papilloma type) on effect size, and potential publication bias was estimated using funnel plot symmetry. Thirty-five studies were eligible, covering 492 sinonasal SCCs from different geographic regions. Altogether, 133 (27.0%) cases tested HPV-positive; effect size 0.305 (95% CI, 0.260-0.355; fixed effects model), and 0.330 (95% CI, 0.249-0.423; random effects model. In meta-analysis stratified by (i) HPV detection technique and (ii) geographic study origin, the between-study heterogeneity was significant only for the latter; P = .526, and P = .0001, respectively. In maximum likelihood meta-regression, HPV detection method (P = .511) and geographic origin of the study (P = .812) were not significant study-level covariates. Some evidence for publication bias was found only among polymerase chain reaction-based studies and among studies from Europe and North America but with negligible effect on summary effect size estimates. In sensitivity analysis, all meta-analytic results were robust to all one-by-one study removals. In formal meta-regression, the variability in HPV detection rates reported in sinonasal SCCs was not explained by the HPV detection method or geographic origin of the study.

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS To perform a systematic review and formal meta-analysis of the literature reporting on HPV detection in sinonasal papillomas. Since first reported in 1983, the etiological role for human papillomavirus (HPV) in sinonasal papillomas has been subject to increasing interest. STUDY DESIGN A systematic review, with meta-analysis and formal meta-regression. METHODS Literature was searched through April 2012. The effect size was calculated as event rates (95% confidence interval [CI]), with homogeneity testing using Cochran's Q and I(2) statistics. Meta-regression was used to test the impact of study-level covariates (HPV detection method, geographic origin, papilloma type) on effect size, and potential publication bias was estimated using funnel plot symmetry. RESULTS Seventy-six studies were eligible covering 1,956 sinonasal papillomas from different geographic regions. Altogether, 760 (38.8%) cases tested HPV-positive; effect size 0.421 (95% CI 0.359-0.485, random effects model). The summary HPV prevalence was highest (65.3%) in exophytic papillomas (EP), followed by inverted papillomas (37.8%) and cylindrical cell papillomas (22.5%). In meta-analysis stratified by 1) HPV detection technique, 2) geographic study origin, and 3) papilloma type, the between-study heterogeneity was significant only for the papilloma types (P = .001). In meta-regression, HPV detection method (P = .102), geographic origin (P = .149), or histological type (P = .240) were not significant study-level covariates. Some evidence for publication bias was found only for studies on EP. In sensitivity analysis, all meta-analytic results were robust to all one-by-one study removals. CONCLUSIONS Variability in HPV detection rates in sinonasal papillomas is explained by their histological types (not by HPV detection method or geographic origin of study), but none of the three were significant study-level covariates in formal meta-regression.

Abstract
A tissue field of somatic genetic alterations precedes the histopathological phenotypic changes of carcinoma. Genomic changes could be of potential use in the diagnosis and prognosis of pre-invasive squamous head and neck carcinoma (HNSCC) lesions and as markers for cancer risk assessment. Studies of sequential molecular alterations and genetic progression of pre-invasive HNSCC have not been clearly defined. Studies have shown recurring alterations at chromosome 9p21 (location of the CDKN2A) and TP53 mutations in the early stages of HNSCC. However, gene silencing via hypermethylation is still a relatively new idea in the development of HNSCC and little is known about the contribution of epigenetics to the development of neoplasia, its transformation, progression, and recurrence in HNSCC. This review examines the role of promoter hypermethylation of tumor suppressor genes in the progression continuum from benign papillomas to malignancy in HNSCC.

Abstract
In addition to genetic alterations of gains and losses, epigenetic events of promoter methylation appear to further undermine a destabilized genomic repertoire in squamous head and neck carcinoma (HNSCC). This chapter provides an overview of frequently methylated tumor suppressor genes in benign head and neck papillomas, primary HNSCC tumors, and HNSCC cell lines and their relevance as epigenetic markers in head and neck tumorigenesis.

Abstract
The sinonasal tract (SNT) includes the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses (maxillary, ethmoid, frontal, and sphenoid) and may give rise to a variety of nonneoplastic and neoplastic proliferations, including benign and malignant neoplasms. The benign neoplasms of the SNT include epithelial neoplasms of surface epithelial origin, minor salivary gland origin, and mesenchymal origin. The spectrum of malignant neoplasms of the SNT includes epithelial malignancies, sinonasal undifferentiated carcinoma, malignant salivary gland neoplasms, neuroectodermal neoplasms, neuroendocrine neoplasms, melanocytic neoplasm, and sarcomas. This article concentrates on some of the more common types of benign and malignant neoplasms.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study of human papillomavirus (HPV), Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), p21, and p53 in sinonasal inverted papilloma (IP) was to help elucidate its pathogenesis. METHODS Seventy-three IPs, 48 nasal polyps, and 85 hypertrophied turbinates were subjected to HPV polymerase chain reaction (PCR) study. Seventy-three IPs, 30 nasal polyps, and 32 hypertrophied turbinates were subjected to EBV in situ hybridization (ISH), p21, and p53 immunohistochemical (IHC) studies. RESULTS HPV was positive in 3 of 73 IPs (4.1%). All specimens were EBV negative. In all, 99% of IPs showed strong and diffuse p21 nuclear reactivity. Most nasal polyps and hypertrophied turbinates showed weak to moderate immunoreactivity of the basal and parabasal cells. Only focal p53 immunoreactivity of the basal and parabasal cells was found in 19% of IPs and 40% of nasal polyps. CONCLUSIONS HPV prevalence of our IP is low. EBV is not present in IP. High p21 and low p53 expression in IP suggests a non-p53-dependent regulation pathway.

Abstract
Sinonasal carcinomas are rare tumors with an aggressive clinical behaviour which frequently pose a number of problems regarding the interpretation of diagnostic findings and the treatment. In addition, in comparison with other malignancies of the head and neck region, an elevated fraction of sinonasal carcinomas can be attributed to occupational exposure. This review is focused on the recent advances in the molecular and phenotypic characterization of sinonasal carcinomas, and their possible implications for the interpretation of epidemiological data, as well as for the diagnosis and treatment of these rare malignancies. The increasing knowledge on their phenotypic and genotypic features is progressively leading to a refinement in diagnosis, especially for poorly differentiated and undifferentiated lesions, as well as to the identification of markers which can be potentially useful to identify the early phases of carcinogenesis, to detect subclinical disease, to predict the response to therapy, and finally, that may represent potential targets for alternative treatments.

Abstract
This study investigated the role of human papillomavirus (HPV) in Schneiderian papillomas (SPs) to determine whether HPV is associated with the pathogenesis of particular histologic subtypes and whether p16(INK4a) can be used as a surrogate marker for HPV detection. Twenty-seven papilloma specimens (19 inverted [IPs], 6 exophytic [EPs], 1 oncocytic [OP] and 1 mixed) were collected from 23 patients. Purified SP DNA extracts were tested for HPV by PCR using GP5 +/GP6 + primers; HPV genotyping was performed by dot blot hybridization. PCR positive specimens were screened for HPV by biotinyl-tyramide-based chromogenic in situ hybridization (CISH). Immunohistochemsistry (IHC) for the HPV L1 capsid protein and for p16(INK4a) was performed on all specimens. HPV was detected by PCR in 16/27 (59.3%) SPs; 9/19 (47.4%) IPs; 6/6 (100%) EPs [p = 0.051], and 1/1 (100%) mixed SP. HPV was not detected in the single OP. High risk genotypes were detected in 4/9 IPs (44.4%) and 0/6 EPs (0%) [p = 0.10]. Seven of 16 PCR positive SPs were also CISH positive for HPV: 5/6 EPs (83.3%) and 1/9 IP (11.1%) [p = 0.01]. IHC for the L1 capsid protein was positive in 2 SPs (1 EP and 1 mixed). p16(INK4a) staining was seen in 14/16 (87.5%) PCR positive SPs and in 10/11 (90.9%) PCR negative SPs (p = 1.00). In summary, this study demonstrates a strong association between HPV and EPs, however, its role in IPs remains less well-defined. Further, p16(INK4a) is not a useful surrogate marker for HPV detection across the various SPs.

Abstract
More than 100 HPV genotypes are presently distinguished by comparing the DNA sequence of the L1 ORF of each HPV. Two important aspects of the nature of this group of heterogeneous viruses are the way in which specific HPV genotypes are associated with distinct clinical and histological morphologies and the way specific HPV genotypes affect distinct anatomical sites. The former is best evidenced by the HPV type specific cytopathic or cytopathogenic effect (CPE), whereas the latter is suggested by the marked preference of each HPV genotype for specific tissues and sites. Recent studies have also suggested that specific HPV genotypes may target epithelial stem cells at specific anatomical sites. HPV type-specific CPE is the central schema when we analyze and understand the HPV-associated diseases. The concept was suggested by the characterization of distinct HPVs from different types of warts: HPV 2/27/57 from common warts, HPV 3/10/28 from flat warts, HPV 6/11 from condyloma acuminatum, and HPV 5/8 from lesions of epidermodysplasia verruciformis (EV). In this paper, I summarize recent advances in HPV study field, especially on HPV-associated cutaneous lesions. These include inclusion warts, HPV-associated epidermoid cysts, HPV type specific activation of melanogenesis, a double infection with HPV 1 and HPV 63 within a single cell, primary target cells and life cycle of the virus, and the identification of novel genes that are associated EV. The HPV-associated cutaneous lesions thus pose important problems to be resolved in virology and human pathology.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Evidence of an etiological role for human papillomavirus (HPV) in Schneiderian inverted papillomas IP arose in the late 1980's; yet almost three decades later, the association between HPV and IP has yet to be universally accepted. This is probably due to the disparate HPV detection rates in IP reported in the literature. We analyzed the weight of published data in order to address the following questions: why do the HPV detection rates in IP vary so greatly? What is the relationship between low-risk (LR) and high-risk (HR) HPV types and HPV detection rates in IP? Is there a relationship between the presence and type of HPV in IP and recurrence and malignant progression? MATERIALS AND METHODS A search using the Pubmed search engine was performed to identify studies published in English from 01/87 through 12/06 using the MeSH terms ''HPV'' and ''Inverted", "Exophytic", "Oncocytic Schneiderian" or "Fungiform papilloma''. Data was abstracted from publications including histology, HPV target, HPV type, method of detection, etc. HPV results were stratified by histology and other variables. Tests for heterogeneity (between-study variability) were conducted, and weighted prevalence (WP) estimates and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated using a random-effects inverse-variance model stratified on study. The association between HPV IP recurrence was estimated by random-effects inverse-variance weighted odds ratio (OR). RESULTS Weighted estimates revealed similar detection rates across detection methods, 26.8% (95%CI 16.4-37.2%) by ISH, 25.2% (95%CI 14.7-35.6%) by consensus PCR, and 23.6% (95%CI 12.2-35.0%) by type-specific PCR. A preponderance of HPV 6/11 is found in IP as compared to HPV 16/18; the overall unadjusted ratio of LR to high-risk HR HPV types is 2.8:1 The HPV detection rates significantly increase (Wald t-test P < 0.02) in IPs with high-grade dysplasia (WP 55.8%, 95%CI 30.5-81.0%) and carcinoma (WP 55.1%, 95%CI 37.0-73.2%) as compared to IPs with no dysplasia or mild dysplasia (WP 22.3%, 95%CI 15.9-28.6%). Furthermore, the preponderance of LR HPV in benign IP (ratio LR/HR = 4.8:1) shifts in dysplastic and malignant IP. The LR/HR ratio is 1.1:1 for IPs with high-grade dysplasias, this ratio is inverted to favor HR HPV (1:2.4) for malignant IP. Recurrences developed in 44 of 236 patients; HPV was detected in 27 of 44 IPs (WP 57.9%, 95%CI 31.6-84.2%) that developed recurrences and in 24 of 192 IPs (WP 9.7%, 95%CI 4.4-15.0%) that did not develop recurrence. The presence of HPV was significantly associated with the likelihood of developing recurrence (weighted OR of 10.2, 95%CI 3.2-32.8). CONCLUSIONS We hypothesize that LR HPV may induce IP formation, and then are lost as infected cells are shed, as a "hit and run" phenomenon. HPV detection rates increase in dysplastic IP and SCC-ex-IP with increasing ratio of HR to LR HPV types, compared to nondysplastic IP. We believe that one explanation for the variation in HPV detection rates between different studies may be the actual histologic composition of the cohort. That is, if one series contains a higher frequency of dysplastic and malignant IP, it may have a higher detection rate than another series which contains only nondysplastic IP. We hypothesize that the higher rates of HPV detection in dysplastic and malignant IP may be related to HPV integration. The implication of this is that HPV sub-type testing may identify patients at risk for recurrence, or progression to dysplasia and malignancy, and thus may impact surveillance protocols.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Histological analysis suggests that inverted papilloma (IP) tumorigenesis may occur through a stepwise series of discrete events. The association between human papilloma virus (HPV) and IP has been described at varying incidences. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of the HPV subtypes in a large series of IP specimens classified by histological grade. METHODS Fifty-seven paraffin-embedded specimens of Korean population were available for study. Each specimen was graded according to a four-stage histological grading system (stages I and II, benign IP; stage III, dysplastic IP; stage IV, carcinoma arising from IP). A representative section of IP specimen was isolated through laser capture microdissection (7.5- to 10-mum laser spot size). Subsequently, DNA extraction and HPV genotyping with the HPV DNA chip test (Biomed Lab Co., Seoul, Korea) was performed. The HPV DNA chip contained 22 type-specific probes that consisted of 15 high-risk subtypes and 7 low-risk subtypes. RESULTS Histological grading was as follows: 5, grade I; 23, grade II; 22, grade III; and 7, grade IV. Seven of 57 specimens (12.3%) showed HPV DNA. All of the HPV(+) cases showed HPV DNA in early grade (grades I and II) IP lesions. No higher grade (grades III and IV) IP tumors showed HPV DNA. Among the seven HPV(+) cases, five were high-risk subtypes and two were unspecified subtypes. CONCLUSION HPV infection, mainly high-risk subtypes, occurs in benign IP as an early event during the multistep tumorigenesis of IP. Cumulative other genetic insults may be required to progress from benign IP (grades I and II) to dysplastic IP (grade III) and carcinoma arising from IP (grade IV).

Abstract
Benign inverted papillomas have been reported as monoclonal but lacking common genetic alterations identified in squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck. Epigenetic changes alter the heritable state of gene expression and chromatin organization without change in DNA sequence. We investigated whether epigenetic events of aberrant promoter hypermethylation in genes known to be involved in squamous head and neck cancer underlie the pathogenesis of sinonasal papillomas. Ten formalin-fixed paraffin DNA samples from three inverted papilloma cases, two exophytic (everted) papilloma cases, and two cases with inverted and exophytic components were studied. DNA was obtained from microdissected areas of normal and papilloma areas and examined using a panel of 41 gene probes, designed to interrogate 35 unique genes for aberrant methylation status (22 genes) using the methylation-specific multiplex-ligation-specific polymerase assay. Methylation-specific PCR was employed to confirm aberrant methylation detected by the methylation-specific multiplex-ligation-specific polymerase assay. All seven cases indicated at least one epigenetic event of aberrant promoter hypermethylation. The CDKN2B gene was a consistent target of aberrant methylation in six of seven cases. Methylation-specific PCR confirmed hypermethylation of CDKN2B. Recurrent biopsies from two inverted papilloma cases had common epigenetic events. Promoter hypermethylation of CDKN2B was a consistent epigenetic event. Common epigenetic alterations in recurrent biopsies underscore a monoclonal origin for these lesions. Epigenetic events contribute to the underlying pathogenesis of benign inverted and exophytic papillomas. As a consistent target of aberrant promoter hypermethylation, CDKN2B may serve as an important epigenetic biomarker for gene reactivation studies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to determine the expression of cell cycle regulation genes in patients with inverted papilloma (IP) and compare this with expression in patients with nasal polyps (NPs). METHODS Tissue from 18 patients with IP and 5 patients with NPs were stained by immunohistochemistry techniques for p53 and p27. Measurement of the gene expression was performed by three assessors, who we blinded with respect to the specimens. RESULTS The mean score for p53 expression (3.33) was significantly higher in the IP group than the NP group (1.46). The mean difference between IP and NPs was 1.80 (CI, 1.15-2.46; p = 0.003). Additionally, we showed in a number of individuals variation in the p53 expression within the same specimen. There was no difference in the mean scores for p27, with the mean difference 0.79 (CI, 0.30-1.89; p = 0.147). CONCLUSION Our study established a significantly increased expression of p53 in IP when compared with NPs. Additionally, there appear to be two different cell populations identified within the same specimens, which exhibited variation in their p53 expression.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Inverted papillomas are uncommon benign tumors that may occur in the sinonasal tract. Because of their tendency towards recurrence and their potential for malignant transformation, complete en bloc resection has been the standard treatment modality. With the application of minimally invasive surgical techniques in the management of sinonasal disease processes, transnasal endoscopic removal of inverted papillomas is gaining in acceptance. The following represents a review of the current literature regarding sinonasal inverted papilloma and its clinical management. RECENT FINDINGS The recent literature has further refined the technique of endoscopic resection of inverted papillomas by delineating essential principles and applying new technologies, such as image guidance and angled endoscopic drills. Modified approaches and methodology have been described to address tumors originating in particular anatomic locations. At the same time, new information relevant to the diagnosis and surveillance of inverted papillomas has been published, regarding the role of imaging, serum tumor markers, and human papillomavirus. SUMMARY Growth in experience with the endoscopic management of inverted papillomas has led to evolving technical improvements and innovations. In most tumor locations, the completeness of resection achieved by a skilled endoscopic surgeon is equivalent, if not superior, to that attained with an open approach. In some instances, an endoscopic exploration with tumor resection may help define the site of tumor attachment and direct adjunctive open procedures when indicated. Long-term outcomes studies with sizeable patient cohorts will be needed to define the role of various surgical strategies in the optimal management of inverted papilloma.

Abstract
AIM To measure HPV status, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and transforming growth factor-alpha (TGF-alpha) expression and Ki-67 index in exophytic papilloma (EP), inverted papilloma (IP) with dysplasia, IP with carcinoma and invasive squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). METHODS Forty-four patients with sinonasal papilloma and invasive SCC were selected. The nasal tissues were stained with monoclonal antibodies to EGFR, TGF-alpha and Ki-67. The results were analysed using quantitative immunohistochemical analysis. In situ hybridization studies for HPV DNA for 6/11, 16/18 and 31/33 were also performed on the tissue. RESULTS Significant increase of EGFR and TGF-alpha was observed in IP with severe dysplasia, IP with carcinoma and invasive SCC compared to IP with mild dysplasia and control nasal mucosa. And a serial upreguration in terms of Ki-67 index in IP with dysplasia was observed. Among IP, HPV 6/11-positive was present in 42% tumour and HPV 16/18-positive was present in 31% of tumours. Among HPV 6/11 and 16/18-positive IP, significant increase of EGFR and Ki-67 index were observed. CONCLUSION Pre-cancerous lesions of IP exhibited elevated levels of EGFR and TGF-alpha and these expression may be associated with early events in IP carcinogenesis. HPV infection may be an early event in a multistep process of malignant formation of IP.

Abstract
The term "head and neck cancer" has been widely adopted in the recent literature, to include the lesions at several anatomic sites: the lip, oral cavity, nose and para-nasal sinuses, naso-pharynx, oro-pharynx, hypo-pharynx, and larynx. In this communication, the data on human papillomavirus (HPV) involvement in oral, oro-pharyngeal, sino-nasal, and laryngeal carcinomas are reviewed. Our group was the first to present evidence on the involvement of HPV infections in both laryngeal and oral carcinogenesis, prompted by the discovery of morphological similarities between oral and cervical squamous cell lesions. The latest meta-analyses of the epidemiological studies as well as the multi-centre case-control studies have confirmed HPV as an independent risk factor for oral cancer, with a range of odds ratios (OR) between 3.7 and 5.4. Until 2002, 4768 oral carcinomas have been analysed for HPV DNA, and 22% were reported to contain HPV by any of the detection techniques. Of all non-genital cancers, tonsillar carcinomas appear to have the highest prevalence of HPV. By the end of 2002, 422 cases of tonsillar carcinoma have been analyzed for the presence of HPV DNA, with the overall detection rate of 51%. HPV 16 is the most prevalent HPV type found in 84% of HPV DNA-positive tumours. HPV seems to be mainly episomal in tonsillar carcinomas, but the significance of this observation is still obscure. Interestingly, patients with HPV 16-positive tumours seem to have a better overall- and disease-specific survival, as compared with the HPV-negative group. To date, 1041 sino-nasal papillomas have been analysed for HPV and 347 (33%) cases have been positive, whereas of the 322 sino-nasal carcinomas analysed so far, 70 (22%) have been positive for any HPV type. Laryngeal squamous cell papilloma and recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP) are well-established HPV-induced tumours, whereas the role of HPV in laryngeal carcinomatosis remains controversial. The molecular mechanisms of HPV-associated carcinogenesis of the head and neck require further study.

Abstract
We present cytologic data from multiple samples from two cases of inverted sinonasal papilloma (ISP). These samples displayed the entire spectrum of squamous cell changes, including benign squamous papilloma, variable degrees of dysplasia, and invasive squamous cell carcinoma. In all instances, the cytologic impression coincided with the final diagnosis based on frozen and/or permanent histologic sections from the same samples. We suggest that cytologic examination be viewed as a useful initial approach in the diagnosis of ISP, and in the differential diagnosis of other tumors that occur in the same sites.
