A clinical study of papillomas in the nose and paranasal sinuses was performed. A total of 17 cases of papilloma was seen at our clinic during the last 11 years and they consisted of 14 males and 3 females with a mean age of 57.9 years. The combination of MRI and CT scan was more useful than CT scan alone to distinguish between papillomas and chronic sinusitis. The recurrence rate was 29%.
