Endoscopic Excision of Solitary Neurofibroma Arising from Posterior Nasal Septum

Neurogenic tumors form a very small percentage of all neoplastic lesions of the head and neck region. However, the head and neck region is by far the most common location for benign peripheral neural tumors. Several cases involving the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses have been sporadically documented throughout the medical literature. We present a rare case of a solitary neurofibroma arising from the posterior nasal septum of a 37-year-old woman. En bloc surgical resection of the mass was achieved by endoscopic approach. This case highlights the importance of considering this clinical entity in the differential diagnosis when encountering a unilateral soft tissue mass in the nasal cavity and use of endoscopic technique in the management of such tumors.
