비중격에서 발생한 신경섬유종 치험 1예

Neurofibroma is one of the peripheral nerve sheath tumors commonly found in head and neck. However, it is extremely rare in the nasal septum. Recently, we experienced a case of isolated neurofibroma of the nasal septum with surrounding bony destruction in a 56-year-old female patient. The tumor mass was successfully removed by transnasal endoscopic excision. We present our review of the clinicopathologic features, radiologic findings and treatment of this tumor.
