We report a case of a neurilemmoma presenting as a midline nasal mass in a 13-year-old girl. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of a nasal neurilemmoma in a pediatric patient. Although this neoplasm is benign in nature, surgical resection is warranted to prevent recurrence, and it is the sole means of treatment. The overall prognosis is excellent, as was the case for our patient. We discuss the diagnosis and management of neurilemmomas and urge physicians not to exclude nasal neurilemmoma from the differential diagnosis in a pediatric patient who presents with a nasal mass.
我们报告了一例13岁女孩以中线鼻腔肿物形式出现的神经鞘瘤病例。据我们所知，这是儿科患者鼻腔神经鞘瘤的首例报告。尽管这种肿瘤本质上是良性的，但为防止复发仍需手术切除，且这是唯一的治疗方法。总体预后良好，我们的患者就是如此。我们讨论了神经鞘瘤的诊断和处理，并敦促医生在遇到有鼻腔肿物的儿科患者时，不要将鼻腔神经鞘瘤排除在鉴别诊断之外。
