It has eluded otorhinolaryngologists regarding its etiology and histopathologists regarding its tissue component. Objective: The objective is to study the various cytomorphological subtypes of Schneiderian papilloma (SP) along with their occurrence, recurrence, and malignant transformation.

All patients of nasal mass after detailed anesthetic evaluation and radiological investigation underwent surgery and the mass were sent for histopathology. Results: In this case series of 25 patients of SP, we encountered 17 cases of Inverted papilloma, 5 cases of Cylindrical (Transitional) Cell Carcinoma (CCC), and 3 rare cases of Everted papilloma (EP).
