Pleomorphic adenoma of the parapharyngeal space.

Radiol Case Rep

Radiology Department -University Hospital of 20 Aout 1953 - Faculty of Medicine and Pharmacy of Casablanca, Hassan II University, Casablanca, Morocco.

Pleomorphic adenoma of the parapharyngeal space is a rare benign tumor, representing less than 1% of tumors of the parapharyngeal space. Considering the volume of the tumor, the complexity of the space and the potential difficulties of excision, an imaging work-up including at least computed tomography (CT) and/or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and possibly analysis of the vascular axes (angio-MRI, arteriography) is essential. Treatment of these tumors is essentially surgical.
