Abstract:
Primary malignant tumor of the parapharyngeal space (PPS) is rare. After surgical resection, primary closure could be considered if the oropharynx mucosa remains. This report describes two patients who underwent reconstruction by free tissue transfer after the resection of PPS tumors. This report was presented at the 56th annual meeting of the Japanese Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 4 April, 2013.
