ABSTRACT
The incidence of solitary neurofibroma of the facial nerve originating from the parotid region is extremely low, and there are two cases reported in Korea to our knowledge. We report a case of neurofibroma in parotid gland in a 17-year-old male. The patient had a slow growing, nontender parotid mass on the right side without facial paralysis & lymphadenopathy. He had systemic neurofibromatosis and family history. CT scan showed a 3x3cm sized eliptical, well demarkated mass that was located in the anterior portion of the superficial lobe and outside of masseter muscle. The mass was well-enhanced and surgically removed with minimal nerve injury. Histopathologic examination indicated neurofibroma. Thus, we report this case to discuss intraparotid neurofibroma compared with Schwannoma.
