Parapharyngeal space (PPS) tumours are uncommon and can be a diagnostic challenge as the presenting symptoms are often vague and non-specific. Most of the PPS tumours are salivary tumours (pleomorphic adenoma being the most frequent diagnosis), and are thought to originate from minor salivary glands or the deep lobe of the parotid gland. Warthin's tumour, another benign salivary tumour involving the PPS has been rarely reported. A case of bilateral, metachronous Warthin's tumour involving the PPS is reported here. PPS Warthin's tumour is a very rare condition that if undiagnosed may result in considerable morbidity.
咽旁间隙（PPS）肿瘤并不常见，由于其呈现的症状往往模糊且不具特异性，因此在诊断上颇具挑战。大多数PPS肿瘤为唾液腺肿瘤（多形性腺瘤是最常见的诊断结果），一般认为其起源于小唾液腺或腮腺深叶。沃辛瘤是另一种累及PPS的良性唾液腺肿瘤，相关报道极为罕见。本文报告了一例双侧、异时性累及PPS的沃辛瘤病例。PPS沃辛瘤是一种极为罕见的病症，若未得到诊断，可能会导致相当严重的发病率。
