Schwannoma is a benign tumor that originates from sheath of myelinated peripheral nerves, rarely seen at the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses. Symptoms of this tumor are nonspecific, and diagnosis is often made only after histological examination. Schwannoma is radioresistant, and chemotherapy is not effective, so surgical resection is the only curative treatment for this tumor. Endoscopic sinus surgery was the first choice for this case because of its definite origin and being easy to remove for complete excision. We present a patient with schwannoma who underwent an endonasal endoscopic approach for complete resection.
施万细胞瘤是一种起源于有髓鞘周围神经鞘膜的良性肿瘤,在鼻腔和鼻窦中很少见。该肿瘤的症状不具有特异性,通常仅在组织学检查后才能确诊。施万细胞瘤对放疗耐药,化疗无效,因此手术切除是该肿瘤唯一的治愈性治疗方法。由于该病例起源明确且易于通过手术完整切除,因此鼻内镜鼻窦手术是首选治疗方式。我们报告了一例接受鼻内镜入路完整切除施万细胞瘤的患者。
