ABSTRACT
A 66-year-old man visited the ophthalmology department due to epiphora and was subsequently diagnosed with oncocytic schneiderian papilloma. Surgical removal was recommended to the patient; however, he refused this option. Therefore, a radiation of 64 gray (Gy) was administered in 32 daily doses (2 Gy daily) over 45 days using intensity-modulated radiotherapy. Four months after radiotherapy, the tumor had disappeared. Two years postradiotherapy, the patient was healthy, without tumor recurrence or the development of orbital complications. The authors suggest that radiotherapy could be an adjuvant or definite treatment modality for patients of oncocytic schneiderian papilloma unsuitable for complete surgical removal, or those associated with a high risk of surgery-related complications.
