Transnasal endoscopic excision of an isolated neurofibroma of the nasal septum

Rhinology. 1997 Jun;35(2):89-91.

Abstract

Neurofibroma may occur in any parts of myelinated nerves having Schwann cells. However, it is extremely rare in the nasal septum. We have had experience with an isolated neurofibroma of the nasal septum which was successfully removed by transnasal endoscopic excision, and describe the clinical, endoscopic surgical and pathological features.
