Transoral excision of a parapharyngeal space tumor: case report.
Tumors of the parapharyngeal space are rare tumors comprising less than 1% of all head and neck neoplasms. They are mainly salivary gland or neurogenic tumors. Clinical presentation is very variable. Surgical resection by different approaches remains to be the best possible treatment option. We present a case of 45 years old female patient admitted at the ENT Department due to the unilateral he...
متن کاملTransoral Resection of Giant Parapharyngeal Space Tumors via a Combined Surgical Approach
Introduction: Parapharyngeal space (PPS) tumors account for 0.5% of the head and neck neoplasms. Based on the evidence, 80% of these tumors are of a benign nature. Surgical excision is the treatment of choice for this condition. The present study was conducted to propose transoral resection as an efficient way to excise the benign well-defined tumors of the PPS. Materials and Methods: Thi...
متن کاملEndoscopy-assisted transoral resection of large benign parapharyngeal space tumors.
We have evaluated the outcomes of endoscopically-assisted resection of large benign tumours of the parapharyngeal space by an intraoral approach. Six patients with primary benign tumours were treated in this way. The lesions were pleomorphic adenomas, Warthin's tumour, and schwannoma. The sizes of the tumours varied from 4×4 cm to 7×7 cm. All tumours were removed completely without rupture and ...

The purpose of this study was to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the endoscope-assisted transoral approach over the traditional approaches. METHODS This prospective study included 4 patients who were diagnosed with PPS tumors and treated with the endoscope-assisted transo...

Fortunately, these tumors are generally benign, and therefore, they bring expectations from the patient and the physician that excision should lead to low morbidity and very low mortality. Since patients rarely die of these tumors, th...
