Area of Science:

  • Otorhinolaryngology
  • Neurosurgery
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Schwannomas are typically benign nerve sheath tumors.
  • Facial nerve schwannomas are rare, especially in pediatric patients.
  • Intra-parotid location presents unique diagnostic and surgical challenges.

Observation:

  • A 13-year-old male presented with symptoms suggestive of a facial nerve mass.
  • Imaging confirmed an intra-parotid lesion.
  • Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) was utilized for preoperative diagnosis.

Findings:

  • Histopathological analysis confirmed the diagnosis of schwannoma.
  • Preoperative FNAC provided diagnostic accuracy.
  • Surgical intervention was planned based on tumor characteristics and location.

Implications:

  • Early and accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective management.
  • Surgical strategy must consider facial nerve function preservation.
  • This case contributes to understanding pediatric facial nerve schwannomas.
