A case of a schwannoma in the nasal columella

Schwannomas are rare slow-growing benign tumors arising from Schwann cells lining the nerve sheaths. Head and neck schwannomas account for about one-third of all cases, and only 4% of them arise from the sinonasal tract. Its diagnosis is based on histology and immunohistochemistry. Complete surgical excision is the most recommended treatment option, and endoscopic surgery has been widely performed in recent years. In this study, we presented a case of a 55-year-old female with schwannoma arising from the lateral wall of the nasal cavity, causing epistaxis and rhinorrhea. The patient underwent endoscopic excision with prompt resolution of symptoms. The reported cases of nasal cavity schwannoma were reviewed and summarized for educational purposes.

A variety of diseases can affect the nasal vestibule. It might be challenging to diagnose and treat a nasal vestibular tumor due to the anatomical characteristics of the nasal vestibule. Neurilemmoma is a tumor derived from Schwann cells of the nerve sheath. Less than 4% of these tumors invade the nasal cavity and sinuses. Nasal vestibule neurilemmoma is rare, it is often overlooked when a mass discovered. The diagnosis of it is mainly based on clinical symptoms, nasal endoscopy, and imaging, The mainstay of treatment is complete resection surgery. Pathological examination provides the final diagnosis. We present a patient with nasal vestibule neurilemmoma who underwent a successful endoscopic surgery without cosmetic deformity, and discuss the clinical manifestations, histological features, imaging features, differential diagnosis, treatment options, then reviewed relevant literature of this rare benign lesion.

Schwannoma is a benign solitary neoplasm emerging from the Schwann cells of the peripheral, cranial and autonomic nerves. Approximately 25 to 45% of schwannomas occur in the head and neck region. However, schwannoma in the subfrontal area, nasal cavity or paranasal sinus is very rare and accounts for only 4% of these neoplasms. We experienced a case of schwannoma in the subfrontal area and left nasal cavity in a 74-year-old man who complained of recurrent rhinorrhea. We report this unusual case of schwannoma with a review of the literature.
