Abstract

Ancient schwannomas are slow growing variant of benign schwannoma. Although commonly occur in head and neck region, the Sinonasal ancient schwannoma with extension into orbit are sparsely reported. Histopathologically, these tumours develop degenerative changes due to their long-standing nature and thus can be confused with malignant nerve sheath tumours or sarcoma. Diagnosis is made by combined HPE and Immunohistochemical analysis that reveals diffuse S-100 positive staining. Treatment of choice is surgical gross total excision. We present to the best of our knowledge, a fourth in world literature report of Sinonasal ancient schwannoma with intraorbital extension presenting to our OPD with abaxial displacement of involved globe and was treated with pure endoscopic gross total removal by transnasal route.

Keywords: Expansile; Sinonasal; Long-Standing; Globe Displacement
