  • Title: Acute facial-nerve paralysis with parotid adenolymphoma.
    Author: Berry MG, Brown AA, Lee PH, Kangesu L.
    Journal: Br J Plast Surg; 2001 Jul; 54(5):454-6. PubMed ID: 11428782.
    Abstract:
    An 82-year-old woman presented with acute facial paralysis in association with parotid swelling following fine-needle aspiration cytology of a parotid adenolymphoma. Evacuation of a tense haematoma decompressed the nerve and led to complete recovery within 6 months. Additionally, the tumour is no longer evident, either clinically or radiologically, and fine-needle aspiration cytology appears to have been both diagnostic and, inadvertently, therapeutic in this case.
