Abstract

Schwannomas are benign tumours of the peripheral nerve sheath that can develop anywhere in the body. In the nasal cavity, they hardly ever happen. Lesions known as paranasal schwannomas make up fewer than 4% of all head and neck schwannomas. Here, we present a case of sinonasal schwannoma in a 24-year-old male who had been experiencing nasal obstruction and loss of sense of smell for the previous 2 years. The lump was successfully removed without any postoperative complications.
