RESUMEN

Nerve rhabdomyomas are exceedingly rare benign tumors of the peripheral nerves consisting of well-differentiated striated muscle fibers admixed with parental nerve fibers. Only one case of intracranial nerve rhabdomyoma has been described, which affected the trigeminal nerve. This report presents the detailed neuropathological description of a nerve rhabdomyoma arising in the schwannian portion of the facial nerve root in a 41-year-old Caucasian man. The nerve fibers were arranged chaotically as in a traumatic neuroma. Because of the intimate intermingling of this slow-growing tumor with the parental nerve fibers, complete excision should be avoided.
