Extracapsular dissection of the parapharyngeal space for a pleomorphic adenoma: a 10-year review.
Pleomorphic adenomas of the parapharyngeal space are difficult to remove with a margin of normal tissue. We reviewed 29 cases of extracapsular dissection of a parapharyngeal pleomorphic adenoma and found that extracapsular dissection does not increase the probability of recurrence of the tumour.
