Abstract

Various malignant and benign tumors can arise in the sinonasal cavity, including inverted papilloma (IP), a benign neoplasm with unique clinical characteristics. However, the mechanisms involved in the recurrence, occurrence, and malignant transformation of IP remain debatable. This study aimed to investigate the impact of human papillomavirus (HPV) infections on IP by comparing the number of infections in cases with epithelial tissue dysplasia and explore the predictive role of proliferative and prognostic markers in dysplasia. Tissue blocks from 35 cases of sinonasal papilloma, collected between 2015 and 2021 from the laboratory archives of the Medical City of Ghazi Al-Hererri Hospital in Baghdad, Iraq, were immunohistochemically stained with monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) to detect Ki-67 and p53. A quantitative immunohistochemical analysis was conducted to analyze the results. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was performed to detect HPV genotypes 16/18 and 6/11 in the tissues. There was an insignificant increase in Ki-67 and p53 expression in inverted papillomas with dysplasia. HPV11 was the most prevalent genotype in 34.3% of the patients, followed by HPV16 and HPV18 in 31.4% of the patients for each virus. The least common virus detected was human papillomavirus 6 (8.6%), which did not show any significant association with the degree of dysplasia. Viral detection proliferation and apoptosis had no impact on tumor dysplasia amongst all the patients, showing no relationship with the evaluated cases.
