ABSTRACT

Schwannoma of facial nerve presenting as a asymptomatic parotid mass is rare in head and neck field. Most of reported Schwannoma from facial nerve were solitary, well-encapsulated in the character.

A 66 year-old famale who complained palpable right infraauricular and nontender mass got parotidectomy as a parotid tumor according to preoperative CT findings. This tumor mass occurred multiply along with peripheral branches of the facial nerve and the pathologic result was Schwannoma.. Even though there have been several reports of extratemporal facial nerve Schwannoma, none of these reports was multiple type. So authors report a case of multiple Schwannoma of extratemporal facial nerve with brief review of literature.
