This article, published in the Journal of Neurological Surgery, explores the relationship between patient geographical and socioeconomic factors and the extent of disease at presentation in inverted papilloma, a common benign tumor found in the nasal cavity. The study analyzes data from 199 patients who underwent surgical resection of inverted papilloma over a 10-year period. The researchers found that patients from resource-deprived areas tended to have more extensive disease at presentation, including multiple sinus involvement and the need for an open surgical approach. These findings highlight the importance of recognizing demographic factors that impact disease extent and addressing disparities in access to timely care. [Extracted from the article]
