Abstract

Schwannomas are rare, benign, and slow-growing tumors that originate from the Schwann cells of peripheral nerves. They exhibit no sex predilection and are often characterized by a variable and delayed clinical presentation. The definitive diagnosis is established through histopathological examination. In this report, we present a rare case of a schwannoma arising from the lateral wall of the nasal cavity in a 45-year-old male patient. The tumor was successfully excised via endoscopic nasal surgery, and there was no recurrence observed at six-month follow-up.
