Abstract
|
|
|
|
Schwannoma is a benign tumor originating from the peripheral nerve sheath. A 16-year-old man have experienced progressive swelling of the nasal tip over 4 years. Computed tomography scan showed a 2.5 cm sized soft tissue density at the nasal tip. It distorted and dislocated the lower lateral cartilage. The mass was resected using an external rhinoplasty approach. The nasal tip was reconstructed by tip surgery and the soft tissue defect under the skin due to mass was filled with autologous dermal graft. The pathologic diagnosis was a schwannoma. A nasal tip schwannoma is extremely rare. Here, we present and discuss the clinical and surgical aspects of schwannoma arising on the nasal tip.
