Primary tabs

De Ceulaer, Joke Decat, Monique [UCL] Reychler, Hervé [UCL]

A 68-year-old female presented with a right parotid mass and partial frontal peripheral facial nerve palsy. Pre-operatively, the mass was thought to be benign. Surgical intervention consisted of parotidectomy with sacrifice of the facial nerve due to the nerve's involvement in the tumoural process and its intrapetrosal course. Immediate nerve reconstruction was performed by an interposition graft of the great auricular nerve. Pathological examination revealed a schwannoma of the facial nerve. Review of the literature on this rare parotid gland tumour is reported.
