Excerpt

Facial nerve schwannomas are benign, encapsulated tumors that arise from the facial nerve sheath [1‐3]. Schwannomas of the facial nerve can arise from either the extratemporal or intratemporal course of this nerve [4]. Facial nerve schwannomas most commonly arise from intracranial and intratemporal part of the facial nerve. Facial nerve schwannoma arising from the extratemporal course of facial nerve accounts for only 9% of all facial nerve schwannomas [5]. Intraparotid facial nerve schwannoma is an even rarer entity and accounts for 0.5–1.5% of all parotid tumors [6]. Literature search has have described less than 100 cases of intraparotid facial nerve schwannomas. …
