Abstrakt: Olfactory Schwannomas (OS) are a rare, benign tumour entity. Throughout literature, only few cases have been reported. We describe here a case of a 75-year-old female with a contrast enhanced mass lesion in the anterior fossa, who underwent a surgical removal and its histopathological analysis was consistent with a schwannoma. The description of the origin of this tumour is intriguing and enigmatic. Although rare, this type of tumour should always be included in the differential diagnosis of anterior fossa lesions. Further research on the pathogenesis and the natural course of OS is needed.
