“…Sinonasal schwannomas are reported to be equally distributed between the sexes and occur mostly in patients between the second and fifth decade of life (range, 6–82 years) . However, in our series, there was a female‐to‐male ratio of 4.5:1 with a mean age of 49.5 years.…”

Nasal Cavity Schwannoma—A Case Report and Review of the Literature

2021

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.

“…Sinonasal schwannomas are uncommon tumors that have been described as case reports or as small case series. To date, only 20 reports of nasal septum schwannoma have been reported in western literature [4] . Schwannomas of the nasal septum are extremely unusual and not many cases have been reported previously.…”

Tumors of the sinonasal tract are usually of epithelial in origin such as papilloma, salivary gland tumors or carcinoma. Soft tissue tumors of the sinonasal tract are rare and are predominantly vascular and fibrohistiocytic in origin. Neural tumors are unusual in this location.Schwannomas of the sinonasal tract are rare, benign, slow growing peripheral nerve sheath tumors representing less than 4% of the schwannomas of the head and neck region without age, race or gender predilection. We present a case of a 50 year old female patient with history of unilateral nasal obstruction and with a polypoidal mass of the right nasal septum, in whom a diagnosis of Schwannoma was rendered.
