  • Title: Multicentricity of intraparotid facial nerve schwannomas.
    Author: Chiang CW, Chang YL, Lou PJ.
    Journal: Ann Otol Rhinol Laryngol; 2001 Sep; 110(9):871-4. PubMed ID: 11558765.
    Abstract:
    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 hypothesized. We present a case of multiple intraparotid facial nerve schwannomas. In this case, the histologic features of the tumors support the multicentric hypothesis.
