“…Complete local excision of neurofibroma is usually curative and the prognosis is excellent, if the tumor is completely removed. 14 Neurofibromas are slowly growing benign tumors. 15 Our patient had undergone complete tumor removal less than a month previously.…”

“…Control of recurrence should be done for at least several years. M a l i g n a n t t r a n s f o r m a t i o n o f neurofibroma is rare unless the patient has neurofibromatosis, 14 and it is extremely rare with only 5 cases reported in literatures till date. 16 Neurofibromatosis was first described in 1882 by von Recklinghausen, and neurofibromatosis type 1 is its most common type.…”

“…In Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery, neurofibroma is more common in the throat, auditory nerve, 17 and vestibular nerve. 14 Primary neurofibroma in the nasal cavity is rare, accounting for only 2.75% of the benign tumors in the nose. 17 Regarding zonal involvement, the literatures revealed that all areas of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses could be affected.…”

“…However, they are rarely found in the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses. In the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses, the great majority of the peripheral nerve sheath tumors reported were Schwannomas, 14 which have variable cellularity, including increased cellularity. 4 Microscopic examination of neurofibroma showed interlacing bundles of elongated cells with wavy and dark-stained nuclei, wire-like strands of collagen, and myxoid stroma.…”

Background: Nasal polyps are painless inflammatory lesions originated from around the middlemeatus or paranasal sinus cavity; while neurofibroma is benign peripheral nerve sheath tumor. Purpose:To report a rare case of neurofibroma concurrently with nasal polyps in chronic rhinosinusitis. Casereport: A 64-year-old female with chief complaint congestion on the right nose cavity. There was a mass on both nasal cavities. Patient diagnosed with benign mass at right nasal cavity and chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps at left nasal cavity; with a differential diagnosis of chronic rhinosinusitis with bilateral nasal polyps. Computer tomography scan results showed homogeneous isodense lesion in the right nasal cavity, and mucosal thickening in left nasal cavity and maxillary sinus. Patient was managed with total extirpation of the bilateral nasal cavity mass and functional endoscopic sinus surgery. Pathological examination revealed neurofibroma in the right nasal cavity and polyps in the left nasal cavity. Clinical question: “How to differentiate inflammation with tumor of nasal and paranasal sinuses? Is there a causal relationship?” Review method: Literature searching was performed with the keywords “nasal cavity neurofibroma”, AND “nasal polyps”, AND ”chronic rhinosinusitis” through database Google Scholar, PubMed, and hand searching/e-book. Result: There were 11 literatures published in the last 5 years, and 7 articles relevant with the subject. Conclusion: Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps, along with neurofibroma on nasal cavity is a rare co-incidence, and there was no correlation between those lesions. Pathological examination is a gold standard in differentiating a definite diagnosis of neurofibromas and polyps.Keywords: nasal cavity neurofibroma, nasal polyps, chronic rhinosinusitis

“…The differential diagnosis between SFTs of the paranasal sinuses and the previously described tumors is very difficult on a clinical basis, given the non-specific clinical presentation of them all. In fact, they can all manifest with nasal obstruction, recurrent epistaxis, sinusitis, and rhinorrhea [11][12][13][14].…”

A Case Report of a Solitary Fibrous Tumor of the Maxillary Sinus

A solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a benign neoplasm, firstly described as a mesenchymal tumor of the pleura. Its incidence range in the head and neck region is about 5–27%, but only rarely does it affect paranasal sinuses. The differential diagnosis is challenging, owing to its erosive growth pattern and immuno-histochemical features. SFTs have an aggressive behavior and an important recurrence potential. Therefore, a radical surgical excision is the gold standard therapeutic procedure. A rare SFT originating from the right maxillary sinus is reported here. The 37-year-old patient presented to the outpatient clinic with a painful expansive lesion in the whole right maxillary region. The overlying skin was inflamed and the patient had no epistaxis episodes. The 1.5 dentary element tested negative for vitality; however, a puncture of the lesion led to a hematic spill and no purulent discharge. An endoscopic-guided biopsy was suggestive either of SFT or hemangioperictoma, excluding a malignant neoplasm. A multi-equipe surgical team was activated. The lesion was embolized in order to achieve a good hemostatic control and, after 48 h, the neoplasm was radically excised with a combined open and endoscopic approach. The patient was disease-free at 12-month radiological and clinical follow-up. Given the rarity of this lesion and the delicacy required in addressing head and neck neoplasms, we believe that the present case report might be of help in further understanding how to approach cranio-facial SFTs.
