title: [Our experience in the management of parapharyngeal tumors].
abstract: The rate of occurrence of neoplasma arising from the parapharyngeal space is scarce, about 0.5 percent of neck and face tumors. In the paper is reported our 10-year experience on its clinical diagnosis and therapeutical management as well. We have found 13 percent (3/23) malignancies and 87 percent (20/30) benign growth. 35 percent were paragangliomas and 22 percent represent salivary tumors. Diagnostic procedures, ways of approach and surgical complications are considered.
