Fungiforme type Schneiderian papilloma which originated from the sphenoid sinus is a very rare encountered disease. In this report, we are aiming to show a case, which originated from the anterior wall of the sphenoid sinus primarily, with clinical, radiological, histopathological and surgical aspects. At the examination of a 42 years old male who applied with the complaint of nasal obstruction and rhinorrhea from one side, a mass which was filling the right choanal region and nasopharynx was determined. It was resected totally with endoscopy assistance. Pathological research of the mass, which originated from and eroded the right sphenoid sinus anterior wall, revealed as Schneiderian papilloma exofytic type. There was not any evidence of recurrence at the end of 11th month after intranasal endoscopical sphenoethmoidectomy. In conclusion, fungiforme type Schneiderian papilloma which originated from sphenoid sinus primarily is very rare and satisfactory results may be obtained when it is operated by intranasal endoscopic sphenoethmoidectomy.
