PURPOSE: To report a rather rare entity of facial palsy due to chondromyxoid fibroma. The authors present a case along with clinico-pathological features, management, treatment options and follow-up. METHODS: The authors present a case of a 29-year-old male who suffered from right facial weakness and numbness for a period of 6-months. imaging studies demonstrated a soft, locally invasive tumor, located mainly in the right temporal bone and extended extracranially. RESULTS: A surgical procedure of local excision followed by cross-facial nerve grafting was performed. CONCLUSIONS: Diagnosis should be based on combination of histo-pathologic and radiographic findings, because of its histological similarities to chondrosarcoma.
