Abstract
A retrospective and prospective study of thirty three cases of Parapharyngeal tumors seen and treated between 1968 to 1981 and 1981 to 1984 respectively was done at JIPMER in Pondicherry. Twenty six cases were operated. Their mode of presentation, investigations, treatment modalities with detailed operative findings, histopathological diagnosis and follow up was discussed. Majority of the tumors were benign (69.2%). Commonest benign tumors were Neurilemmomas and Ghemodectomas, 23% and 27% respectively. Commonest malignant tumor was Embryonal Rhabdomyosarcoma. Surgery alone offered excellent results in cases of benign tumors whereas prognosis was dismal despite intensive multimodality treatment of malignant Parapharyngeal Tumors.
