Unusual sites of schwannoma in the head and neck.
Two cases of schwannoma originating in unusual sites in the head and neck are reported. To the best of our knowledge ours is the first case of schwannoma in the nasopharyngeal area to be described. Schwannomas in the parotid area must be kept in mind in the differential diagnosis of parotid tumours. The pertinent literature is reviewed.
