Although a benign pathology, it is associated with aggressive local destruction and recurrence after removal and malignancy. The clinical picture presents non-specific signs and symptoms, such as unilateral nasal obstruction, anosmia and headache. Treatment is essentially surgical. This report has the objective of presenting an uncommon bilateral nasal inverted papilloma and the use of diode laser in surgical excision & making a literature review. The uniqueness in our case was the use of diode laser in excision of inverted papilloma.
