Malignant schwannoma of the infratemporal fossa: a case report
INTRODUCTION Malignant schwannomas or neurofibrosarcomas are rare nerve tumors of unknown etiology. These neoplasms are highly aggressive with a marked propensity for local recurrence and metastatic spread. Their management continues to be a challenge for pathologists and surgeons. Maxillofacial locations are very exceptional. We report the case of a patient with unusual malignant schwannoma of...
متن کاملA Rare Report of Two Cases: Ancient Schwannoma of Infratemporal Fossa and Verocay Schwannoma of Buccal Mucosa
Schwannoma is a benign tumor that originates from Schwann cells of the peripheral nerve. Occurring as a common tumor in the head and neck region, its intraoral presentation is rare which accounts for only 1%. They are solitary, slow-growing, smooth-surfaced, usually asymptomatic, and encapsulated tumor. This paper comprises two case reports, both of which presented with an intraoral soft tissue...
متن کاملLarge trigeminal schwannoma of the infratemporal fossa: evaluation of neoangiogenesis in this rare neoplasm.
BACKGROUND Trigeminal schwannomas are uncommon intracranial tumors. Extracranial trigeminal schwannomas in the infratemporal fossa are rare. METHODS We present a case with a clinical history of facial pain. MRI and CT scans showed a mass arising from the infratemporal fossa extending into the intracranial space.

متن کاملThe Transzygomatic Transmandibular Approach to Infratemporal Fossa
The infratemporal fossa is a deep quadrangular space located at the inferior aspect of the middle cranial fossa. Numerous surgical approaches have been described to gain access to benign and malignant pathology of this anatomical area. The transzygomatic transmandibular approach provides excellent wide exposure of the infratemporal space, for resection of tumours afflicting this region.
