Abstract

Neurofibroma (NF) is a common benign peripheral neurogenic tumor that is rarely encountered in the paranasal sinus tract. In this report, we present a 55-year-old female who serendipitously discovered a maxillary sinus NF during a medical examination for a pulmonary nodule. The purpose of this article is to enhance medical practitioners' comprehension of paranasal sinus solitary NF by exploring cases, summarizing occurrences located in the paranasal sinus tract and conducting an organized review of paranasal sinus tract NF.
