Transoral approach to a huge neurofibroma of the parapharyngeal space: a case report.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Neurofibroma of the parapharyngeal space accounts for less than 2% of all parapharyngeal space neoplasms. A 38-year-old man presented with complaints of snoring and left-sided nasal obstruction. Medical history also revealed numerous huge skin neurofibromas and multiple café au lait spots all over the body. Pharyngeal endoscopic examination disclosed a firm, nonpulsatile submucosal mass, pushing the left pharyngeal region approximately 5 cm medially, and extending to the inferior part of the epiglottis. The tumor was removed by transoral excision without any subsequent complications. Histological and immunohistochemical examinations revealed a neurofibroma.

Since the tumours are typically large at the time of presentation, extensive surgery for complete clearance of the lipoma from the retropharyngeal and parapharyngeal regions is to be expected. Transoral excision is typically indicated for small ret...
