Abstract

Neoplasm in sinonasal cavity is dominated by epithelial type. Sinonasal schwannoma is a rare entity represent less than four percent of head and neck schwannoma. Clinically this tumour is commonly misdiagnosed until they are confirmed by histopathological examination. We present a case of schwannoma in sinonasal region with involvement of right side nasal cavity, maxillary sinus and maxillary alveolar process. The tumour was successfully removed by midfacial degloving approach.
