  • Title: Intraparotid facial nerve schwannoma in a child.
    Author: Kumar BN, Walsh RM, Walter NM, Tse A, Little JT.
    Journal: J Laryngol Otol; 1996 Dec; 110(12):1169-70. PubMed ID: 9015436.
    Abstract:
    Neoplasms of the facial nerve presenting as a parotid mass are uncommon. In the absence of a facial palsy their origin from the nerve is usually diagnosed intraoperatively. The majority of these neurogenic neoplasms are schwannomas, with neurofibromas occurring rarely. Although the Schwann cell is the key element in both, they have distinct histopathological characteristics, and their clinical course and management often differs. The first reported case of an intraparotid facial nerve schwannoma in a child in the English literature is presented.
