ABSTRACT
Schwannomas of the olfactory nerve are rare tumors: to the best of our knowledge, 56 cases have been previously reported. Here we describe a new patient presenting with an isolated olfactory schwannoma, highlighting the importance of multiple ancillary tests to approach the intracranial lesion of the anterior skull base, including electron microscopy. We also discuss the enigmatic origin of this entity, moving from the normal histology of the olfactory nerve compared to a peripheral nerve.
