Abstract
OBJECTIVE: Evaluate the efficacy of 5-Aminolevulinic Acid Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) in medical treatment of nasal inverted papilloma (NIP). METHODS: Three patients with nasal inverted papilloma were treated with 5-Aminolevulinic Acid Photodynamic Therapy at our department from April to September 2012. The efficacy and adverse effects of 5-Aminolevulinic Acid Photodynamic Therapy were evaluated during 6-8 months of follow-up medical examination. RESULTS: After treated with 5-Aminolevulinic Acid Photodynamic Therapy, the nasal inverted papillomas were removed. No recurrence was found during the 6-8 months of follow-up medical examination. The major adverse effects were mild erosion, pain, and exudation. CONCLUSION: 5-Aminolevulinic Acid Photodynamic Therapy appears to be an effective treatment of nasal inverted papilloma. It can clear the papilloma lesions and is well tolerated by the patients.
