Perineural Spread of Mucoepidermoid Carcinoma of Parotid Gland Involving V, VI, and VII Cranial Nerves Demonstrated on Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography

Perineural spread (PNS) in head and neck malignancies has been associated with extremely poor prognosis. Through this interesting case, we demonstrate the PNS of a mucoepidermoid carcinoma of parotid gland with simultaneous involvement of V, VI, and VII cranial nerves identified on positron emission...
