Abstract
Parapharyngeal space(PPS) tumors are very uncommon. Though majority of these tumors are of benign origin, the most
common among them is a pleomorphic adenoma. Surgical removal is mainstay for the treatment of these tumors for which
a strategic preoperative evaluation of each patient and knowledge of different surgical approaches to PPS are essential. Here we report a rare but
typical case of a 35 years old female presented to OPD with a mass in right the parapharyngeal space. The mass was excised successfully using
mandibular swing approach and the post operative histopathology report suggested it to be “pleomorphic adenoma”.
