ABSTRACT

The parapharyngeal space tumors are rare. Almost it 13% of lipomatous tumor exist in head and neck, the majority are benign. It’s a rare cases of the tumors of parapharyngeal space, wichs can occur in 1 to 2%. Only eigth cases are reported in literature. The method for assessing these tumors, recently included axial computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging, its to proveed an assessment more rational approach to their management. We reported a patient of 46-year-old male, with a large parapharyngeal lipoma that extended to the skull base, and to the parotid and submandibular space. The literature is reviewed and the characteristics of the disease are discussed.
