- Abstract
Schwannomas of the parapharyngeal space are an extremely rare clinical condition, which despite its benign nature inspires care about their own diagnosis and treatment. In this location, schwannoma's slow growth usually causes delays on symptoms, complicating the clinical suspicion. The diagnostic is made by clinical examination along with fine needle aspiration or incisional biopsy associated with imaging tests such as MRI and CT. The treatment for schwannomas in this location is surgery with care to preserve nearby structures and with minimal morbidity. This paper aims to report this rare condition in relation to the head and neck tumors and perform a review of the subject.
