- Abstract
The parapharyngeal space is a potential space, which has been described shaped like an inverted pyramid, surrounding the rhino-, oro- and hipo-pharynx. Tumors arising herein are highly uncommon, representing 0,5-1% of head and neck tumors. This paper presents four particular cases treated in Emergency County Hospital, Sf.Spiridon Iasi, E N T Clinic. The diagnosis of these tumors was squamous cell carcinoma, lipoma, TB adenopathy and osteoclastoma. In all four cases the main method of treatment was surgery, the transcervical approach was the main procedure used for complete ablation of the tumors. Postoperative local favorable evolution, allowed the complementary 60 Gy radiotherapy for both, primitive carcinoma and osteoclastoma. There was no regional recurrence observed in follow-up protocol.
