Tumors arising in the parapharyngeal space, while relatively rare are difficult to extirpate due to their site, which includes important nerves and vessels. Most such tumors originate in the parotid gland and are neurogenic. Basal cell adenomas of the parapharyngeal space are rare.
A 67-year-old man found incidentally in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to have basal cell adenoma of the parapharyngeal space underwent surgical resection in an external cervical approach. No evidence of tumor recurrence has been seen in the year since surgery.
