Summary

This summary is machine-generated.

Diagnosing and managing parapharyngeal space tumours is challenging. This study reviewed 15 cases, detailing surgical excision via a transcervical approach as the preferred method for these complex neck tumours.

Background:

Parapharyngeal space tumours present significant diagnostic and management challenges.
Three-dimensional anatomical understanding, aided by computed tomography, is crucial for evaluation.

Purpose of the Study:

To present a series of parapharyngeal space tumours.
To discuss their surgical management and preferred approaches.

Main Methods:

Review of 15 patients with parapharyngeal space tumours.
Surgical excision as the primary treatment modality.
Computed tomography utilized for anatomical assessment.

Main Results:

The cohort included 6 salivary gland tumours, 4 neurogenic tumours, and 5 miscellaneous tumours.

The transcervical surgical approach was the preferred method for most cases.

Additional procedures like parotidectomy were performed based on tumour pathology.

Conclusions:

Surgical excision is effective for parapharyngeal space tumours.
The transcervical route is a suitable approach for most of these tumours.
Mandibulotomy is reserved for extensive tumours invading the skull base.
