Intraparotid Facial Nerve Schwannoma

چکیده
Intraparotid facial nerve schwannoma is a rare benign neoplasm. Due to its rarity, it is not usually a prioritized diagnosis before surgery and may therefore lead to an unintentional treatment error. In this article, we report a single case of intraparotid facial nerve schwannoma. We were able to make a diagnosis with frozen biopsy. A complete resection of the mass while preserving the facial nerve was performed. Herein we present our clinical experience with regards to the treatment process of intraparotid facial nerve schwannoma.

We present this case because this tumor grows slowly and rarely produces signs and symptoms thus mimicking pleomorphic adenoma which is much more common. When it is diagnosed peroperatively the management differs significantly and is a matter of debate with few favoring comp...

متن کاملFacial Nerve Schwannoma of Parotid Gland: Difficulties in Diagnosis and Management
Facial nerve schwannomas (FNS) are encapsulated benign tumors arising from Schwann cells of seventh cranial nerve. Most of the facial nerve schwannomas are localized in intratemporal region; only 9% of cases involve a portion of the extratemporal segment. Preoperative diagnosis is often unclear; diagnosis is often made intraoperatively. Management of intraparotid FNS is troublesome because of t...
