Intra parotid plexiform neurofibroma of the facial nerve is anextremely rare benign tumor, difficult to diagnose and manage, often considered pathognomonic of neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1 or von Recklinghausen's disease). Its diagnosis is essentially pathological and the treatment is primarily surgical to avoid any degeneration. We report a case of plexiform neurofibroma of the facial nerve centered on the parotid region in a 1-year-old child.
