Case Rep Oncol. 2015 Jan 13;8(1):1-8. doi: 10.1159/000371340. eCollection 2015 Jan-Apr.

Abstract

We report on a patient who was referred to the ENT service following an incidental finding on an MRI scan of the brain. It revealed a mass in the right parapharyngeal space, and additional imaging confirmed the presence of a solid cystic expansive mass with moderate enhancement following contrast media injection. The patient was treated with a total parotidectomy followed by radiotherapy. Currently, the patient is disease-free without any complications.
