Nasal neurinoma: case report and review of literature.
We report a rare case of nasal neurinoma. The patient was a 21-year-old man, who complained of nasal obstruction. The tumor was successfully excised, and was found to be a benign Schwannoma (neurinoma). The patient had an uneventful course with no signs of recurrence. Reports in the world literatures of neurinomas in the nasal cavity and the paranasal sinuses are reviewed.
