Abstract:
Neoplasms of the parapharyngeal space are uncommon and usually present as an intra-oral or neck mass. They often elude early diagnosis due to their deep-seated nature. Here we report a case presenting with recurrent oedema of the uvula. The pathophysiology of this previously unreported mode of presentation is discussed.
