Schwannomas are rare slow-growing benign tumors arising from Schwann cells lining the nerve sheaths. Head and neck schwannomas account for about one-third of all cases, and only 4% of them arise from the sinonasal tract. Its diagnosis is based on histology and immunohistochemistry. Complete surgical excision is the most recommended treatment option, and endoscopic surgery has been widely performed in recent years. In this study, we presented a case of a 55-year-old female with schwannoma arising from the lateral wall of the nasal cavity, causing epistaxis and rhinorrhea. The patient underwent endoscopic excision with prompt resolution of symptoms. The reported cases of nasal cavity schwannoma were reviewed and summarized for educational purposes.
施万细胞瘤是一种罕见的生长缓慢的良性肿瘤，由神经鞘膜内衬的施万细胞产生。头颈部施万细胞瘤约占所有病例的三分之一，其中仅有4%起源于鼻窦道。其诊断基于组织学和免疫组织化学。完整手术切除是最推荐的治疗选择，近年来内镜手术已得到广泛应用。在本研究中，我们报告了一例55岁女性鼻腔侧壁施万细胞瘤病例，该肿瘤导致鼻出血和鼻漏。患者接受了内镜切除，症状迅速缓解。为了教学目的，对已报道的鼻腔施万细胞瘤病例进行了回顾和总结。
