[Epidermoid cyst of the parapharyngeal space].
Epidermal cysts of parapharyngeal location are very unusual tumors, with a benign character, though when they reach a great size, adjacent zones and vascular and nervous structures of great importance can be affected. We are going to describe the clinical aspects of this case, the instructions and the surgical approach used: the Fabre inferior and internal jaw approach of the lateropharingeal space and infrasphenotemporal fossa, which avoids the aesthetics and functional aftereffects of other more common approaches.
