title: Intraparotid facial nerve schwannoma.
abstract: Intraparotid facial nerve schwannomas have been documented sporadically throughout the medical literature. These benign tumours of neurogenic origin should be considered in the differential diagnosis of parotid region masses. A case report is presented, followed by a brief literature review and discussion of appropriate diagnostic and treatment modalities.
