Schwann cells intimately ensheath all neurones--of both myelinated and non-myelinated nerves--in the peripheral nervous system. Though Schwann cell tumors are uncommon, up to 45% of the total may occur in the head and neck region. The purpose of this paper is to report a case of schwannoma arising in the right infratemporal fossa, and to describe the surgery involved in its removal. A benign tumor arising in this uncommon position requires a conservative surgical approach for cosmetic reasons. In this case, access was provided by mobilization of the zygoma, which, following removal of the tumor, was repositioned. This surgical procedure provided useful access to such a cryptic anatomical region whilst ensuring a satisfactory cosmetic result.
施万细胞紧密包裹着周围神经系统中所有的神经元，包括有髓神经和无髓神经的神经元。虽然施万细胞瘤并不常见，但总数的45%可能发生在头颈部区域。本文的目的是报告一例发生在右侧颞下窝的施万细胞瘤病例，并描述其切除手术。出于美观考虑，在这个不常见位置出现的良性肿瘤需要采取保守的手术方法。在该病例中，通过颧骨移位提供手术入路，在肿瘤切除后将颧骨复位。这种手术方法为这样一个隐匿的解剖区域提供了有效的手术入路，同时确保了满意的美容效果。
