Abstract

We describe the case of a patient with a parotid mass that was found to consist of both a facial nerve schwannoma and a monomorphic adenoma. To our knowledge, this is the first report of these two lesions presenting as a single tumor. We also discuss the incidence, diagnosis, and treatment of parotid facial nerve schwannomas.

Introduction

A schwannoma can arise along any peripheral nerve. Approximately 25% of all schwannomas occur in the h...

A neurilemmoma of the parotid gland: Report of a case.
Ear, Nose and Throat Journal ; Abstract Benign primary tumors of the facial nerve are frequently misdiagnosed because of the variety of their clinical manifestations. Much attention has been paid to neurilemmomas in the recent otolaryngologic literature, but far less has been focused on intraparotid facial nerve neurilemmomas.

Multicentricity of intraparotid facial nerve schwannomas
The Annals of Otology, Rhinology & Laryngology ; Facial nerve schwannomas are uncommon neoplasms. Multiple schwannomas of the facial nerve in the parotid region are rare. Research regarding the pathogenesis of multiple facial nerve schwannomas is incomplete. Both the neoplastic bridging of tumor cells and tumor multicentricity have been
Facial nerve schwannoma
The Annals of Otology, Rhinology & Laryngology ; Facial nerve schwannomas are clinically challenging tumors. This is a case study of a young woman with an extensive facial nerve schwannoma. The clinical presentation, radiographic diagnosis, pathological confirmation, and treatment options for this relatively rare tumor are discussed. KEY WORDS -
SIALOLITHIASIS OF AN ACCESSORY PAROTID GLAND
The Annals of Otology, Rhinology & Laryngology ; We report a case of sialolithiasis of an accessory parotid gland in the cheek demonstrated by computed tomography and sialography. The accessory parotid gland was located anterolateral to the masseter muscle and was isolated from the main parotid gland. The calculus developed from this accessory
Aberrant facial nerve.(OTOSCOPIC CLINIC)
Ear, Nose and Throat Journal ; A 50-year-old man presented with a 5-year history of a right tympanic membrane perforation and associated conductive hearing loss. His otologic history was significant for otitis media, otorrhea, and otalgia. He had undergone no otologic surgery. His medical history was significant for
Trigeminal neo-neurotization of the paralyzed face
The Annals of Otology, Rhinology & Laryngology ; Sporadic reports throughout the literature have documented the spontaneous return of facial function following deliberate intraoperative sacrifice of the facial nerve. Trigeminal reinnervation of the facial muscles has been suggested as one possible mechanism for this occurrence. Evidence for the

Ear, Nose and Throat Journal ; Editor's note: This article on the embryology of the facial nerve and related structures is the second of a two-part series. Part I, which covered the phylogeny of the facial nerve and related structures, appeared in the September issue. (1) Abstract A precise description of the developmental
Trauma treating traumatic facial nerve paralysis: Truth or coincidence?
Indian Journal of Medical Sciences ; Sir, Time and patience have been the conventional healers of delayed-onset traumatic facial nerve paralysis. Facial nerve stimulation has played a supportive role in speeding up the recovery. It is managed depending on time of onset and completeness of the paralysis. Delayed-onset paralysis is
Facial nerve herniation.(OTOSCOPIC CLINIC)
Ear, Nose and Throat Journal ; A 61-year-old man presented to the office with a 3-month history of right-sided hearing loss that caused him difficulty in his normal environment. He denied any history of associated illness, including otitis media. He had no complaints of dizziness or disequilibrium. Microscopic examination of the
