“…No characteristic symptom profile exists in intraparotid or nasal schwannoma. However, slow-growing, pain, tenderness, facial spasm or paralysis may be present in the first one [8]. The presenting symptoms of second one include obstruction, rhinorrhea, epistaxis, anosmia, headache, dysphagia, hearing loss, facial or orbital swelling, and pain.…”

Twenty-five to 45 percent of all schwannomas occur in the head and neck. Most of them arise along the vestibular portion of the eighth cranial nerve (acoustic neurinoma). They rarely originate from the peripheral facial nerve or other nerves within the parotid gland. Less than 4% of schwannomas involve the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses. They arise from the branches of the trigeminal nerve and autonomic nervous system.We report two cases of schwannomas arisng from intraparotid facial nerve and nasal cavity. The first case diagnosed in a 62-year-old-man presented with 2-year-history of painless mass of the parotid gland. The lesion was found to be cystic through the pre operative examinations and investigations. The histology of the specimen retained an intraparotid cystic schwannoma. The second case concerned a 75-year-old-man presented with episodes of nasal obstruction, rhinorrhea, anosmia and headache. Histological study of the specimen showed fusiform cells with strongly and diffusely immunostaining for S100 protein suggesting a schwannoma.Virtual Slideshttp://www.diagnosticpathology.diagnomx.eu/vs/1098335216112242.

“…Fine-needle aspiration or biopsy is necessary for a definite diagnosis. Sialography, computed tomography and ultrasonographic scans may be very helpful 2 . Sialography of the parotid gland was mandatory in revealing the sialectasia in our case and is also useful to distend the duct when it is involved 4 .…”

Management of a parotid sialocelein a young patient: case report and literature review

et al. 2010

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Sialocele is a subcutaneous cavity containing saliva, caused by trauma or infection in the parotid gland parenchyma, laceration of the parotid duct or ductal stenosis with subsequent dilatation. It is characterized by an asymptomatic soft and mobile swelling on the parotid region. Imaging studies are useful and help establishing the diagnosis, such as sialography, ultrasonography, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. This paper describes a recurrent case of a parotid sialocele in a young female patient. She presented a 6 cm x 5 cm swelling on the left parotid region. The ultrasonographic scan of the area revealed a hypoechoic ovoid well defined image suggesting a cyst. A sialography of the left parotid showed a cavitary sialectasia in a panoramic and anteroposterior view. A conservative management was adopted by percutaneous needle aspiration of the swelling, which was useful to provide material for analysis and helped healing. Dentists should be aware of this pathology and the importance in adopting a conservative treatment whenever it is possible.
