Schwannoma also known commonly as neurilemmoma and schwann cell tumor is a benign nerve sheath tumor. About 1/3(rd) cases of schwannoma arise from the head and neck region but rarely from the nasal and paranasal sinuses. The recurrence rate in these cases has reported to be very rare. We report a rare case of schwannoma in a 60-year-old woman arising from the maxillary sinus further eroding the orbital floor and nasal bone. We have also described the clinical presentation, radiological, histological findings, and management of the case.
神经鞘瘤也通常被称为神经膜瘤和施万细胞瘤,是一种良性神经鞘肿瘤。约三分之一的神经鞘瘤病例起源于头颈部区域,但很少起源于鼻腔和鼻窦。据报道,这些病例的复发率非常低。我们报告了一例罕见的60岁女性上颌窦神经鞘瘤病例,该肿瘤进一步侵蚀眶底和鼻骨。我们还描述了该病例的临床表现、影像学、组织学检查结果及治疗情况。
