Material and methods Between 2006 and 2012 2295 patients, including 1006 women aged 15–84 and 1289 men aged 17–87, were operated on due to diseases of paranasal sinuses in the Department of Otolaryngology and Laryngological Oncology.

However, in the patients who were operated due to hypertrophic changes within paranasal sinuses, neoplasm was found in 1.3% cases, while inverted papilloma in 0.7%, osteoma in 0.4% and malignant tumors in 0.1%, which altogether amounts to 8 times higher occurrence of neoplastic lesions in unilateral changes.
