Abstract : <p>Schwannoma is a rare type of tumor that forms in the nervous system. Schwannoma grows from cells called Schwann cells. Schwann cells protect and support the nerve cells of the nervous system. Schwannoma tumours are often benign, which means they are not cancerous. But, in rare cases, they can become cancer. Schwannoma are a rare disease, affecting fewer than 200,000 people. Schwannoma is the most common type of peripheral nerve tumors in adults. Schwannoma can occur in people of all ages. A schwannoma typically comes from a single bundle (fascicle) within the main nerve and displaces the rest of the nerve. When the tumor grows larger, more fascicles are affected, making removal more difficult. In general, a schwannoma grows slowly. About 4% of head and neck schwannomas present as a Sinonasal schwannoma making them an extremely rare group of tumours [1]. Here we report a case of sinonasal schwannoma in a 60-year-old female who presented to our OPD with complaints of nasal obstruction Complete excision of the tumor was achieved by using endoscopic approach. The mass was removed successfully without any postoperative complication and there was no recurrence within a year of follow up.</p>
