Abstract Background Schwannomas of the nose and paranasal are extremely rare. Few schwannomas arising from within the lateral wall of the nose have been reported to date. Case presentation A 32-year-old male presented to us with complaints of left-sided nasal obstruction and a mass in his nasal cavity. The evaluation revealed a benign spindle cell lesion arising from within the lateral wall nose which was excised. The final histopathology report revealed a nasal schwannoma. Discussion Schwannomas are benign tumors arising from Schwann cells. Schwann cells are responsible for the formation of the myelin sheath. They are rare, slow-growing tumors. Twenty-five to 45% tumors arise in the head and neck, of which only 4% were arising from nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses. Conclusion To generate awareness about the varying clinical presentations of Schwannomas in the nose and paranasal sinuses and their management. |
