Abstract

 Neurofibromas are benign peripheral nerve sheath tumors which originate from Schwann cells. They are known to occur in extremities as a local manifestation of Von Recklinghausen’s disease, but isolated neurofibroma occurring in the nasal cavity is an rare entity. Here we report one such case in a 44 yr old man who, presented with a unilateral nasal mass. The mass was histologically confirmed to be a neurofibroma. The clinical presentation, histological features and management of nasal neurofibroma are discussed.

Keywords: Neurofibroma; Schwannoma; Endoscope.
