Abstract

Differential diagnosis of geniculate ganglion tumours includes chiefly schwannomas, haemangiomas and meningiomas. We report the case of a patient whose clinical and imaging findings mimicked the presentation of a facial nerve schwannoma.Pathological studies revealed a lesion with nerve bundles unstructured by intense collagenisation. Consequently, it was called fibrous connective tissue lesion of the facial nerve.

Keywords:
Facial nerve
Schwannoma
Inflammatory pseudotumour
Temporal bone
Fibroma
Resumen

Dentro del diagnóstico diferencial de las lesiones del ganglio geniculado nos encontramos principalmente con los schwannomas, hemangiomas y meningiomas. Se presenta el caso de un paciente cuya clínica y hallazgos radiológicos imitaban la presentación de un schwannoma del nervio facial. Los estudios anatomopatológicos revelaron una lesión con fascículos nerviosos desestructurados por intensa colagenización, por lo que se denominó lesión fibrosa del tejido conectivo fibroso del nervio facial.

Palabras clave:
Nervio facial
Schwannoma
Seudotumor inflamatorio
