Schwannomas of the Frontal Sinus: Cases and Review of the Literature

We report two patients with schwannomas originating in the frontal sinus, with variable degrees of extension. These patients underwent resection of the tumors via an endoscopic or combined approach. The histological diagnosis confirmed schwannoma. Though these lesions have traditionally been approached through larger craniotomies and open procedures, these cases represent less invasive approaches for these rare frontal sinus schwannomas, and demonstrate them as a valid alternative with minimal morbidity for the patient.
