Abstract

Schwannomas are benign, encapsulated and slowly growing neoplasms arising from Schwann cells of the sheath of the peripheral nerves. According to the literature, half of the schwannoma cases occur in the head and neck areas and only less than 4% occur in the sinonasal tract. We report a case of a 54-years-old man with a schwannoma involving left nasal cavity , paranasal sinuses engulfing the middle turbinate. We discuss the clinical presentation, differential diagnosis, imaging characteristics and treatment of this rarely encountered lesion.

Keywords: Endoscopic excision, Nerve sheath tumor, Sinonasal Schwannoma
