Abstract
Parapharyngeal space is a potential space in the neck in the form of an inverted pyramid and can be divided into pre- and post-styloid compartment. Salivary gland tumors commonly arise from the pre-styloid compartment and neurogenic tumors and paragangliomas from the post-styloid compartment. These tumors can have a highly variable presentation due to their location which often also makes it difficult to get a confirmed pre-operative diagnosis due to their inaccessibility. In such cases, diagnosis is often radiological. We present two cases of parapharyngeal space masses, where, in spite of thorough pre-operative workup, final diagnosis turned out to be a surprise.
