High-grade transformation of adenoid cystic carcinoma of parotid gland with isolated intratemporal facial nerve involvement: a case report and literature review

CONCLUSION: The radiological features of isolated perineural spread in intratympanic part of facial nerve can be easily missed if not specifically looked for. Every attempt should be made preoperatively and intraoperatively to determine the complete extent of the tumor for adequate disease clearance. A combined clinico-radiological approach aided by histopathology examination helps in early detection of this carcinoma and in better patient management.PMID:36117195 | DOI:10.1186/s43046-022-00144-1
