Tumors originating in the parapharyngeal space are rare and are fascinating to the surgeon in view of the anatomical complexity of the area, varied histological type of tumors encountered and the impressive size which some of these tumors attain before becoming clinically evident. We report a rare case of schwannoma arising from the cervical sympathetic chain presenting as a mass in the parapharyngeal space.
起源于咽旁间隙的肿瘤较为罕见,鉴于该区域解剖结构复杂、所遇到的肿瘤组织学类型多样以及其中一些肿瘤在出现临床症状之前就能长得很大,因此对外科医生来说很有吸引力。我们报告了一例罕见的起源于颈交感神经链的神经鞘瘤,表现为咽旁间隙肿块。
