Abstract

Peripheral nerve sheath tumors (PNSTs), while uncommon, can have a significant impact on appearance and quality of life, especially when they form in prominent areas such as the nose dorsum. We discuss a case of a 29-year-old woman who developed a benign PNST on the right side of her nasal ala. This tumor gradually grew, impairing her face appearance. Diagnostic tests, such as computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), revealed the tumor as a slowly growing, well-defined mass. The tumor was removed via open rhinoplasty under general anesthesia, and pathological investigation verified its benign nature. After surgery, the patient's quality of life improved significantly, and there were no evidence of tumor recurrence after eight months. This case emphasizes the need of including PNST in the differential diagnosis of nasal tumors.

特殊部位的神经纤维瘤:病例报告和鼻背手术技术讨论。
周围神经鞘瘤(PNST)虽然并不常见,但会对外观和生活质量产生重大影响,尤其是在鼻背等突出部位形成时。我们讨论了一例 29 岁女性的病例,她的鼻甲右侧长了一个良性 PNST。肿瘤逐渐增大,影响了她的面部美观。计算机断层扫描(CT)和磁共振成像(MRI)等诊断检查显示,肿瘤是一个生长缓慢、轮廓清晰的肿块。在全身麻醉的情况下,通过开放式鼻整形手术切除了肿瘤,病理检查证实了肿瘤的良性性质。术后,患者的生活质量明显改善,八个月后也没有肿瘤复发的迹象。本病例强调了将 PNST 纳入鼻腔肿瘤鉴别诊断的必要性。
