Özet
Schwannomas are benign tumors originate from nerve sheath. In this article, the authors aimed to share our experience and review the literature on endonasal endoscopic intervention for a maxillary sinus schwannoma. A 30-year-old Caucasian female patient applying to ophthalmology clinic due to exophthalmos and proptosis in her left eye for the last 6 months. A well-defined mass was detected in left maxillary sinus that was filling and expanding the sinus. Endoscopic biopsy from the patient was reported as ancient schwannoma. The encapsulated mass was completely removed by performing a combined endoscopic medial maxillectomy and Caldwell-Luc procedure under general anesthesia. The authors have been following the patient for 2 years and there was no evidence of recurrence, however, a decrease in the volume of the maxillary sinus occurred, suggesting chronic maxillary atelectasis. In conclusion, schwannoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of sinonasal masses.
