Abstract EN
Schwannoma is a benign tumor that arises from the sheath of myelinated nerve fibers and may occur in any part of the body.
Osteogenesis in schwannoma is extremely rare and, to date, new bone formation in sinonasal schwannoma has not yet been reported.
Here, we describe the first reported case of sinonasal schwannoma with new bone formation.
The tumor was successfully treated by endoscopic sinus surgery, and the patient showed no evidence of recurrence 24 months postoperatively.
Immunohistochemically, the tumor expressed bone morphogenic protein 4, indicating a possible role of this protein in the new bone formation in schwannomas.
