Materia! and methods: Retrospective analysis of medical records of 8 selected patients who had an operation for primary parapharyngeal space neoplasm. Analysis has been done of operation protocols, diagnostic images, tumor size and histopathology. Results: Transcervical, transparotid and transmandibular approaches were used with additional rhinotomy and craniotomy in selected cases. Selection of approach should take into account tumor localization, its size and histopathology.
