Inverted papilloma (IP) is a rare sinonasal benign lesion characterized by aggressive biological behavior. Our aim was to evaluate the expression of various proliferation and apoptotic markers and the presence of HPV genotypes in paraffin sections gathered from surgically treated IP patients. %26lt;br%26gt;Immunohistochemistry for PCNA, bax, cytochrome c and caspase-8 and flow cytometry for the detection of apoptosis, necrosis and ki67 expression were performed. The identification of various HPV subtypes was achieved by nested PCR amplification. Nasal polyps (NP) and specimens from normal nasal epithelium (NE) were used as controls. %26lt;br%26gt;PCNA was more frequently expressed in IP compared to NE (p = 0.04) and caspase-8 and bax staining were less frequently observed in IP compared to NP (p = 0.004 and p = 0.01 respectively) and NE (p = 0.003 and p = 0.01, respectively). IP and NP presented significantly higher Ki67 flow cytometry values compared to NE (p %26lt; 0.001 and p = 0.02 respectively). Cytochrome c was more frequently expressed in IP specimens with more prominent inflammation (p = 0.02). A low HPV DNA detection rate was observed. Neither HPV status nor any of the apoptotic or proliferative markers studied was associated with the patients%26apos; clinicopathological characteristics. Increased 1067 appeared to correlate with disease recurrence (p = 0.01). %26lt;br%26gt;Increased PCNA and Ki67 and decreased bax and caspase-8 expression indicate that cell proliferation is increased while apoptosis is inhibited in IP, explaining its biological behavior.
