“…21,22 Though it has been shown to be effective to identify PA in the preauricular, submental, and cheek region, 21 it has not been reliably tested to identify the parapharyngeal portion of the parotid. Case reports an endo-cavitary ultrasound has been used to assess and biopsy this area, 23 but this is not universally performed yet in practice. In our series alone, 2 of the 14 patients with recurring PA had parapharyngeal involvement of the parotid.…”

“…[13] A special advantage of EUS examination is that the flexible probes can be used for EUS-FNAC of LNs or masses not accessible to CT or ultrasound. [111218] The aim of this article is to present the techniques and limitations of EUS in the diagnostic evaluation of structures and LNs of the head and neck.…”

The use of EUS has application in the nodal staging of head and neck cancer. The technique and the anatomy of head and neck region using EUS have not been described. EUS from three stations in thoracic esophagus, cervical esophagus, and hypopharynx can allow imaging of head and neck. In this article we describe the normal structures from the three stations. The EUS imaging of head and neck can give relevant and additional information in malignancies of head and neck.

“…Most of these tumors (70-80%) are benign and approximately 50% originate from the deep lobe of the parotid or from the minor salivary glands, particularly the pleomorphic adenoma. 3,4 The symptoms are manifested when the tumor becomes larger than 2.5-3 cm and related to the prestyloid-poststyloid localization. 3,5 Tumors of the PPS include primary neoplasms, direct extension from adjacent regions, and metastatic disease.…”

Background: Parapharyngeal space tumors account for some 0.5% of tumors of the head and neck, most ofthem benign. The most common benign neoplasms are salivary gland neoplasm, paragangliomas and followed byneurogenic tumors. The importance of these tumors lies mainly in two aspects, the difficulty of early diagnosis,due to the lack of symptoms in the initial stages and, on the other hand, the extreme risk of complications inperforming surgery in the parapharyngeal region. Purpose: We present this case to enlighten generalpractitioners and also otorhinolaryngologist about diagnosis and management of parapharyngeal tumor. Case:One clinical case of neuroendocrine tumor in parapharyngeal space on a 37 years old man. Management: Thepatient underwent diagnosis procedure and extirpation of the tumor mass. Conclusion: Parapharyngeal tumor isone of head and neck tumors that has good prognosis, especially if diagnosed early and adequately treated.Keywords: neuroendocrine tumor, parapharyngeal space, benign tumor.ABSTRAKLatar belakang: Tumor parafaring meliputi sekitar 0,5% dari seluruh tumor kepala dan leher, sebagianbesar jinak. Tumor jinak yang paling sering adalah tumor kelenjar liur, paraganglioma dan tumor neurogenik.Tumor parafaring ini penting disebabkan sulit untuk melakukan diagnosis dini karena sedikitnya gejala padatahap awal dan kemungkinan komplikasi yang dapat terjadi pada saat dilakukan tindakan bedah di daerahparafaring. Tujuan: Kasus ini diajukan agar para dokter umum dan spesialis Telinga Hidung Tenggorok dapatmengenali diagnosis dan penatalaksanaan tumor parafaring. Kasus: Dilaporkan satu kasus tumorneuroendokrin parafaring pada laki-laki usia 37 tahun. Penatalaksanaan: Pada pasien ini dilakukan proseduruntuk mendiagnosis tumor dan dilakukan ekstirpasi massa tumor. Kesimpulan: Tumor parafaring merupakansalah satu dari tumor kepala dan leher yang mempunyai prognosis baik terutama bila didiagnosis secara dinidan diterapi secara adekuat.Kata kunci: Tumor neuroendokrin, spatium parafaring, tumor jinak.

Novel use of ultrasound-guided endo-cavitary probe to evaluate an impalpable parapharyngeal mass

Abstract: To our knowledge, this is the first such modification of the conventional endo-cavitary probe technique described in the literature. The technique permits accurate, well controlled biopsy of lesions located high in the parapharyngeal space, under general anaesthesia.
