Two cases of neurilemmoma in the nasal vestibule A case report and literature review

초록

Rationale: Neurilemmoma is a benign tumor derived from the Schwann cells of the nerve sheath. The highest incidence of neurilemmoma occurs in the head and neck region; however, the nose and paranasal sinuses are rarely involved. Less than 4% of these tumors involve the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses. To date, only six cases of nasal vestibule neurilemmoma have been reported. Patient concerns: Two patients (a 32-year-old man and a 42-year-old woman) visited our clinic with complaint of a lump in the left nasal vestibule. Diagnosis: Histopathological examination and immunohistochemical staining confirmed a neurilemmoma. Interventions: The mass was completely removed via an intranasal approach. Outcomes and Lessons: Neurilemmoma is easy to overlook because it occurs rarely in the nasal vestibule, but neurilemmoma needs to be considered as a differential diagnosis.
