title: [Peripheral facial palsy associated with rhinopharyngeal tumor].
abstract: Peripheral facial paralysis from tumoral origin is scarce in number, in spite of possible manifold causative growths. One case in which the palsy was associated to a rhinopharyngeal neoplasm is reported and possible ways of nerve involvement discussed. Although progression seems to be the most probable hypothesis in this instance, only the anatomo-pathological exam has affirmative value.
