Abstract

Malignant Schwannoma of the sinonasal tract is an extremely rare tumour. So far, only 19 cases have been reported in the literature. We report herein a case of malignant schwannoma involving nasal cavity, maxillary antrum and ethmoid sinus in a 60-year-old male patient. The patient was treated with surgery and post-operative radiotherapy. He currently remains free of the disease 15 months after the diagnosis and twelve months after completing therapy.
