A RARE CASE OF SCHWANOMA NASAL VESTIBULE – CASE REPORT.

Dr Sumit Sharma, Dr Sueeba Shabir

Abstract :

 Schwannomas are benign encapsulated peripheral nerve sheath tumor arising from schwann cells. Schwanomas of the Sino–nasal cavity are extremely rare tumors and very few cases have been reported especially of the Vestibule. Nasal schwannomas accounts for less than 4% of benign solitary schwannoma of head and neck region (1) Most of these lesions are benign and recurrence after surgery is rarely seen. It is important to differentiate Schwanomas from Neurofiomas as the later has a tendency for malignant transformation whereas Schwanomas do not show any such tendency. These tumors in the nasal cavity usually arise from the Trigeminal nerve or the autonomic nerves of the region. Most of reported cases of these tumors arise from the nasal septum and no case arising from the Vestibule is known to the author. Here a case of Nasal Vestibular Schwanoma is being presented.
