Tumors of the parapharyngeal space (PPS) are rare, most originate from salivary and neurogenic tissues, and most are benign. However, there are some rarer masses in the PPS, with just a few published reports in the literature worldwide, and we may not consider them in the differential diagnosis of PPS neoplasms. We report three cases of rare masses in the PPS: Warthin’s tumor, branchial cleft cyst, and carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma. The three patients were admitted to our department with complaints of painless swelling in the lower side of the right face or a long history of snoring; diagnoses were confirmed histopathologically. An endoscopy-assisted transoral approach was used that allowed wide visibility for safe resection and resulted in a short hospitalization time and good functional and cosmetic outcomes. All patients have been followed to the current time, and there have been no recurrences. The transoral endoscopy-assisted approach appears to be safe, effective, and less invasive for excision of masses in the PPS.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of the resection of parapharyngeal space (PPS) tumors via an endoscopic transoral approach. We reviewed 9 patients who were diagnosed with PPS tumors and who were treated with an endoscopic transoral approach. PPS tumors ranging from 2.5 to 6 cm were removed completely with no complications and excellent recovery (mean inpatient hospital stay: 6.89 days). Pathology was pleomorphic adenoma (n =7), schwannoma (n = 1) and malignant pleomorphic adenoma (n = 1). For the malignant lesion, the patient underwent postoperative radiotherapy (70 Gy). There was no radiographic evidence of recurrences, with mean follow-up of 11.22 months (range: 3 to 20). We conclude that resection of PPS tumors via an endoscopic transoral approach appears to be feasible, safe, and effective. Potential advantages of this approach include an excellent surgical view, rapid surgical access, less tissue injury, avoidance of external scar, fewer postoperative complications, and less morbidity.
