[Schwannoma of the nasal cavity: a case report].
Schwannomas of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses are quite rare, with 4% occurring in this location. Most of them are benign and do not recur when totally removed by surgery. It is very important to distinguish between schwannoma and primary benign neurofibroma. Neurofibromas are lesions having the possibility for malignant transformation and recurrence. A case of schwannoma in the nasal c...

A case of schwannoma arising in maxillary sinus in a 2.5-year-old Chinese boy is reported. The basis for discussion of this case is the exceptional rarity of sinonasal schwannoma in pediatric patients.

Maxillofacial locations are very exceptional. We report the case of a patient with unusual malignant schwannoma of...

About 1/3(rd) cases of schwannoma arise from the head and neck region but rarely from the nasal and paranasal sinuses. The recurrence rate in these cases has reported to be very rare. We report a rare case of schwannoma in a 60-year-old woman arising from the maxillary sinus further eroding the...
متن کاملMalignant plasmacytoma appearing as invasive paranasal sinus disease after cardiac transplantation.
Invasive plasmacytoma appearing as a mass in the paranasal sinuses developed in two patients after cardiac transplantation. Radiographic findings included a sinus mass with bony invasion and expansion. The findings were radiographically indistinguishable from common malignant neoplasms and aggressive infectious processes. Malignant plasmacytoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis...
