| Popis: | PURPOSE To report a rather rare entity of facial palsy due to chondromyxoid fibroma. The authors present a case along with clinicopathological features, management, treatment options and follow-up. METHODS The authors present a case of a 29-year-old male who suffered from right facial weakness and numbness for a period of 6-months. Imaging studies demonstrated a soft, locally invasive tumor, located mainly in the right temporal bone and extended extracranially. RESULTS A surgical procedure of local excision followed by cross-facial nerve grafting was performed. CONCLUSIONS Diagnosis should be based on combination of histopathologic and radiographic findings, because of its histological similarities to chondrosarcoma. |
