A case of intranasal schwannoma with bilateral nasal polyposis

Year 2005, Volume: 15 Issue: 1, 45 - 48, 10.03.2005

Abstract

Schwannoma is a benign neoplasm originating from schwann cells of the peripheral nerve sheath, and its occurrence in the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses is rare. We present a case of nasal schwannoma originating from the left nasal cavity, accompanied by bilateral nasal polyposis. A 66-year-old man presented with complaints of Progressive left nasal obstruction, hyposmia, and headache. Anterior rhinoscopic and endoscopic examinations revealed a mass that almost completely filled the left nasal cavity. A polypoid mass was present in the right nasal cavity, as well. On computed tomography, the mass occupied the left ethmoidal cells, left maxillary sinüs, left sphenoid sinüs, and posterior area of the left nasal cavity. Endoscopic sinüs surgery was performed under general anesthesia and the mass was completely removed via the nasopharynx because of its size. Endoscopic anterior ethmoidectomy was also performed in the right nasal cavity for nasal polyposis. Histopathological diagnosis of the left nasal mass was schwannoma. The patient was symptom-free with no recurrence after nine months.

İki taraflı nazal polipozisle birlikte intranazal schwannom: Olgu sunumu

Year 2005, Volume: 15 Issue: 1, 45 - 48, 10.03.2005

Abstract

Schwannoma periferik sinir kılıfının schwan hücrele- rinden köken alan, benign bir neoplazidir; nazal ka- vite ve paranazal sinüslerde nadir görülür. Bu yazı- da, iki taraflı nazal polipozisle birlikte bulunan ve sol nazal kaviteden köken alan nazal schwannoma su- nuldu. Altmış altı yaşında bir erkek hasta ilerleyici sol burun tıkanıklığı, koku alma bozukluğu ve baş ağrısı yakınmalarıyla başvurdu. Anterior rinoskopik ve endoskopik incelemelerde sol nazal kaviteyi ne- redeyse tümüyle dolduran bir kitle görüldü. Ayrıca, sağ nazal kavitede polipoid görünümlü bir kitle var- dı. Bilgisayarlı tomografide, kitlenin sol etmoid hüc- releri, sol maksiller sinüsü, sol sfenoid sinüsü ve na- zal kavitenin posterior bölgesini kapladığı görüldü. Genel anestezi altında endoskopik sinüs cerrahisiy- le, ileri derecede büyüklüğü nedeniyle kitle nazofa- renksten tümüyle çıkarıldı. Sağ nazal kavitedeki na- zal polipozis için endoskopik anterior etmoidektomi yapıldı. Sol nazal kitlenin histopatolojik tanısı schwannoma idi. Ameliyattan dokuz ay sonra hasta- nın semptomsuz olduğu ve herhangi bir nüks geliş- mediği görüldü
