Abstract EN
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 the facial nerve paralysis.
In this report we presented a case of intraparotid schwannoma in a 55-year-old male patient complaining of a painless mass without peripheral facial nerve palsy in left parotid gland.
Clinical features, preoperative and intraoperative diagnosis, and difficulties during management are discussed with the review of the literature.
