Isolated or solitary neurofibromas of the paranasal sinuses are rare. Mostly, they involve the maxillary sinus and so far, a solitary neurofibroma of the frontal sinus has never been reported in the literature. We present a case of frontal sinus neurofibroma treated successfully with surgical excision. A 28-year-old male presented with forehead swelling and computed tomography images revealed a tumor involving the left frontal sinus. Histopathological examination showed the tumor to be a neurofibroma. We discuss the clinical and pathological characteristics of neurofibroma arising in the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses.
鼻窦孤立性或单发性神经纤维瘤较为罕见。大多数情况下,它们累及上颌窦,而迄今为止,文献中从未报道过额窦的单发性神经纤维瘤。我们报告一例经手术切除成功治疗的额窦神经纤维瘤病例。一名28岁男性因前额肿胀就诊,计算机断层扫描图像显示肿瘤累及左额窦。组织病理学检查显示该肿瘤为神经纤维瘤。我们讨论了鼻腔和鼻窦神经纤维瘤的临床及病理特征。
