Intraparotid Schwannoma in a Young Adult: A Rare Entity
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 5
Abstract
Abstract: Intraparotid schwannoma arising from facial nerve are uncommon. These are slow growing, well encapsulated tumors that may arise from the nerve sheath. Preoperative diagnosis of schwannoma is difficult due to varied clinical presentation and usually misdiagnosed as pleomorphic adenoma. Diagnosis is usually confirmed after surgery by histopathology and immunohistochemistry. Till date, few cases of intraparotid schwannoma have been reported in the literature. Here we present a rare case of intraparotid schwannoma in a young adult (18 years) presenting as an asymptomatic parotid tumor with preserved seventh nerve function. Keywords: Parotid, Schwannoma, Facial nerve, Adenoma.
