title: Solitary neurofibroma of the inferior nasal turbinate.
abstract: We present a case of neurofibroma of the nasal inferior turbinate operated under endoscopic control. A 29 year-old female reported progressive left-side nasal obstruction over the past year. Endoscopic examination revealed a mass arising from the left inferior turbinate. Evaluation of multiple sections of the mass by hematoxylin and eosin, S-100 protein and neuron specific enolasa stains showed the tumor to be a neurofibroma.
