Abstract
- Neurofibroma is a neurogenic tumor arising from schwann cells or peripheral tissues of nerve sheaths. It is extremely rare in the sinonasal tract. We report on a case of neurofibroma of the nasal cavity treated by endoscopic surgery. Preoprative computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and punch biopsy suggested that the tumor was benign neurogenic tumor confined to right nasal cavity. The tumor was removed with endoscopic surgery completely, and confirmed as neurofibroma by histological and immunohistochemical examination. We discuss the clinical and pathological characters of neurofibroma arising in the nasal cavity
