  • Title: [Neurofibroma of the parapharyngeal space: a case report].
    Author: Szmeja Z, Szyfter W, Szymiec E, Wierzbicka M, Zdanowicz E.
    Journal: Otolaryngol Pol; 1998; 52(2):215-7. PubMed ID: 9673124.
    Abstract:
    Neurofibroma is rarely found arising in the head and neck region. Parapharyngeal space neurofibroma is one of the rare complications of neurofibromatosis type I, occurring in less than 5% of all parapharyngeal space neoplasms. Solitary neurofibroma type II in this location has not been reported so far in literature. In this paper we describe a case of a huge neurofibroma of parapharyngeal space, indicating the main diagnostic procedures (especially CT scan), and report the surgical treatment.
