Sinonasal Schwannoma: A Case Report and Updated Review of the Literature
نویسندگان
چکیده
Sinonasal schwannomas are rare, benign and slow-growing peripheral nerve sheath tumors without age, race, or gender predilection. We present the unusual case of a 59-year-old female who presented with right-sided retro-orbital pressure and rhinorrhea. Radiographic imaging revealed a mass centered in the right superior nasal cavity with extension through the cribriform plate into the right more than the left subfrontal region. Biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of a sinonasal schwannoma, which was resected via nasal endoscopic surgery and ethmoidectomy. These tumors, albeit rare, should be considered in the differential diagnosis for patients presenting with a paranasal sinus mass to ensure inclusion of this benign lesion and avoid unnecessary aggressive intervention.

متن کاملPediatric Isolated Sinonasal Schwannoma: A New Case Report and Literature Review
Schwannomas of the paranasal sinus are uncommon. Less than 4% of schwannomas involve the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses, even less in the pediatric age group.
