Abstract
Schwannoma is a rare, benign, slow growing tumor originating from Schwann cells or nerve sheaths. Facial nerve Schwannomas are usually intratemporal with extratemporal being only 9% cases. Facial palsy is usually seen in patients with Intratemporal facial nerve Schwannomawhereas patients with Intraparotid Facial Schwannomas usually present with a slow growing parotid region swelling without any facial palsy. Hence, differentiation of Intraparotid Facial Nerve Schwannoma from other Benign tumors involving the parotid gland is difficult.This is a case report of a 57 year old male patient who presented to the ENT OPD of HBTMC & Dr. R.N. Cooper Hospital, Mumbai with Right Parotid region swelling who underwent surgery for the same with histopathology report suggestive of Facial Nerve Schwannoma.
