Abstract

Solitary plexiform neurofibromas of the intraparotid facial nerve are extremely rare tumours that can present a diagnostic challenge. Knowledge of their existence is key to its proper management. Only two cases have been reported in the English literature. We describe the first paediatric case of an intraparotid facial nerve solitary plexiform neurofibroma.
