A schwannoma of the parotid gland. Report of a case. 1978

E Helidonis, and G Dokianakis, and P Pantazopoulos

An unusual case of multiple schwannomas of the parotid gland in a 44-year-old male is presented, and the natural history of the disease is discussed. Neural tumours of the salivary glands are rare, and the treatment of choice is surgery. Recurrence seems to be unusual unless the excision is incomplete.
