Abstract
None:
Leiomyosarcomas and neurofibromas of the parapharyngeal space share similar clinical and radiographic features, making early diagnosis challenging. In patients without neurocutaneous disorders, an adequate tissue sample with immunohistochemistry is crucial for diagnosis. Early detection and treatment of leiomyosarcoma are essential to improve survival and prevent progression of disease.
