Abstract
|
|
|
|
Fine needle aspiration (FNA) is a highly accurate and safe procedure for the evaluation of salivary gland lesions. Although complications are extremely rare, salivary gland FNA may cause hemorrhage, facial nerve injury, or cellulitis at the entry point. The risk of these complications increases in tumors of high vascularity. We report a case of unexpected facial nerve palsy following a fine needle aspiration in a patient with lymphangioma. The patient received a total parotidectomy with preservation of the facial nerve function, and recovered without developing complications after the surgery.
