Abstract

Two cases of large pleomorphic adenoma in the parapharyngeal space were presented.
One case of a 69-year-old woman was considered a tumor originating from the deep lobe of parotid gland and advancing to the parapharyngeal space through a “stylomandibular tunnel”.
Another case of a 74-year-old woman was considered a primary tumor in the parapharyngeal space, extending to the submandibular region.
Each tumor was operatively removed, and no evidence of recurrence was observed to date.
