A Case of Schwannoma of the Nasal Septum
|
|
|
|
|
Abstract
|
|
|
Schwannoma is a benign tumor which arises from nerve sheath of peripheral, sympatheic, and cranial nerves
except optic and olfactory nerves. These tumors most often occur in the head and neck, principally involving
the acoustic nerve. But there have been few cases reporting about the tumor developed in the nose and
paranasal sinuses, and very rare in nasa septum. In nose and paranasal sinuses, nasal-ethmoid and maxillary
sinus are most commonly involved, but rare cases were reported occurring from the nasal septum. Recently, we
experienced an uncommon and interesting case of schwannoma arising from the nasal septum. The mass was
based on right side of nasal septum and displacing middle turbinate and septum to laterally and left side,
respetively. The tumor was excised completely and verified histopthologically as schwannoma.
