Primary parapharyngeal space tumours are exceedingly rare. We present a series of 114 parapharyngeal space tumours, the second largest in the literature. The most frequent benign tumours were pleomorphic adenoma (34) and paraganglioma (33); the commonest malignancies were of salivary gland origin (12). The 5- and 10-year survival for benign tumours was 100%. The 5- and 10-year survival for malignancies was 93% and 57% respectively. The importance of long-term follow-up is evidently crucial.
原发性咽旁间隙肿瘤极为罕见。我们报告了一系列114例咽旁间隙肿瘤，是文献中第二大的病例系列。最常见的良性肿瘤是多形性腺瘤（34例）和副神经节瘤（33例）；最常见的恶性肿瘤起源于唾液腺（12例）。良性肿瘤的5年和10年生存率均为100%。恶性肿瘤的5年和10年生存率分别为93%和57%。长期随访的重要性显然至关重要。
