  • Title: Solitary nasal schwannoma clinically presenting as an angiofibroma of the nasopharynx.
    Author: Gupta SC, Sachin J, Savyasachi S, Ritesh J, Neha G, Singh HP.
    Journal: Ear Nose Throat J; 2010 Jul; 89(7):E28-30. PubMed ID: 20628976.
    Abstract:
    Benign schwannomas of the nasal cavity are rare. When they do occur, their clinical presentation is variable, and some are fairly vascular. We report the case of a 17-year-old boy who presented with epistaxis associated with a unilateral nasal mass that extended into the nasopharynx. The tumor was removed via a transpalatal approach. In most such cases, a clinical diagnosis of angiofibroma is made. In this case, however, histopathologic examination identified the lesion as a schwannoma.
