[Benign schwannomas of the nasal cavity: report of one case].
The authors report one rare case of enormous benign nasal schwannoma. One side nasal obstruction and whitish aspect of tumor at the end nasal exam are the most common signs seen in all patients. This type of tumor is very rare pathology in the surgeons practice. Despite the case that it is not a Cancer, Schwannoma maybe very dangerous pathology. Radiologically, we have noted large tumor and calcification within the tumor. Histological diagnosis may sometimes be difficult and needs the immunohistochemical assessment. Complete tumor resection is the best way to cure the definitively the patients without tumor recurrence.
