  • Title: Neurilemmoma of the parapharyngeal space. Report of three cases and review of the literature.
    Author: Fournier J, St Pierre S, Morrissette Y.
    Journal: J Otolaryngol; 1979 Oct; 8(5):439-42. PubMed ID: 228048.
    Abstract:
    The clinical pre-operative diagnosis of parapharyngeal neurilemmoma is frequently missed. Bimanual palpation of the mass is the most rewarding clinical investigation. Intra-oral incisional biopsy is to be prescribed in case of benign tumor. Treatment is achieved by total excision by external approach. Recurrence rates in benign lesions are low but high with malignant tumors. Three cases of parapharyngeal neurilemmoma are presented.
