In Otorhinolaryngology Department of Medical Academy in Warsaw 49 cases of tumors of the parapharyngeal space were recognized and treated in the period between 1977 and 1996. 48 patients were operated on, one died in the terminal phase of cancer disease. General rules of qualification for operation are as follows: a) CT scans, b) arteriography, c) in changes suggesting neoplasms histological examination during operation is necessary.
