Abstract

A 61-year-old female patient suffering from neuralgiform facial pain developed a PVP granuloma, after she had received peripheral conduction anesthesia treatment with a local anesthetic containing polyvinylpyrrolidone over many years. The clinical symptoms and treatment of this pseudotumor as well as the features distinguishing it from real tumors, particularly chordomas, are indicated.
