Abstract
Schwannomlar, periferik, kraniyal ve otonom sinir- lerin Schwann hücrelerinden gelişen benign neop- lazmlardır. %25-%40’ı baş-boyun bölgesinde görü- lür. Bu tümörlerin sadece %4’ü nazal kavite ve pa- ranazal sinüslerde saptanır. Bu çalışmamızda na- zal kavite yerleşimli iki schwannom olgumuzu sun- duk. Olgularımızdan biri 67 yaşında kadın idi ve kit- le sağ nazal kaviteyi doldurmakta, maksiller ve et- moid hücrelere yayılım göstermekte idi. Diğer olgu sol burun lateral duvarında tümörü olan on yaşında bir çocuk idi. Yaşı gözönüne alındığında ikinci olgu literatürde oldukça az rastlanan bir durumdu. İlk ol- gumuzda tümörün yaygınlığı nedeniyle lateral rino- tomi girişimi uygulandı. Diğer olguda sınırlı alanda yerleşim gösterdiği için intranazal cerrahi tercih edildi. Hastaların ameliyat sonrası takiplerinde nük- se rastlanmadı

Abstract
Schwannomas are benign neoplasms arising from Schwann cells of peripheral, cranial and autonomic nerves. Schwannomas of the head and neck comprise 25 to 45% of ali schwannomas, however nasal and paranasal schwannomas account for 4% of these tumors. İn this report, we present two cases of nasal schwannoma; one of them is 67 years-old female whose tumor completely fills the right nasal cavity and extends beyond the maxillary and the ethmoid sinuses and the other patient is a 10 years-old child who has a tumor in the left lateral nasal wall. The second patient is a rare case in literatüre considering her age. We performed lat eral rhinotomy approach to the first patient due to the wide extension of the tumor. İn the second case we pre- ferred intranasal approach because the tumor had limited extention. No recurrence was seen in postoperative follow-up periods.
