title: Complete Removal of External Nasal Neurofibroma by Endonasal Approach.
abstract: Although neurofibroma can develop in every possible anatomic location, neurofibroma originating from the external nose is extremely rare, and to our knowledge, only 2 cases have been reported so far in the English literature. In this report, the authors experienced a solitary neurofibroma originating from the external nose, which was successfully removed by endonasal approach (marginal incision).
