The neoplasms of the Parpharyngeal Space (PPS) are rare 0.5%-1% of all head and neck tumors [1]. The PPS is an inverted cone-shaped region that extends from the skull base to the hyoid bone. A complex structure called the tensor-vascular-styloid fascia, divides the PPS into the prestyloid and poststyloid compartments. The PPS can be involved by four different types of neoplastic lesions: Primary tumors (benign or malignant), metastatic lymph nodes, lymph node involvement by lymphoproliferative d...
