Schwannoma is a benign neurogenic tumor arising from the sheath of myelinated nerves.  The most common site in head and neck region is vestibulocochlear nerve. 4% of Head and Neck schwannomas involve the sinonasal tract, and out of which origin from the nasal septum are rare. We report a case of a 17–year old female presented with a gradually progressive mass in right nasal cavity since 10 months causing progressive bilateral nasal obstruction and external nasal deformity.
