Abstract:
Facial paralysis in association with a parotid mass is usually associated with a diagnosis of malignancy. Benign parotid neoplasms and inflammatory processes resulting in facial paralysis are extremely rare. This report describes such a case and highlights some of the difficulties surrounding the diagnosis and management of these cases.
