Schwannoma is a benign neoplasm arising from the sheath of myelinated
nerve fibers and may occur in any part of the body. Mostly,it occurs
in the head and neck region, accounting for about 25% to 45% of all
cases.The eighth cranial nerve is the most common site of origin.About
4% of all head and neck schwannomas originate from the nasal cavity
and paranasal sinuses.Usually,it appears a single mass and recurrence
is very rare.We recently encountered 71 year old man with recurrent
septal mass,finally diagnosed as schwannoma. We report the unique and
rare case about recurrence of nasal septal schwannoma with a review of
literature. |
