Tumors of the para-pharyngeal space are rare, accounting for 0.5% of all head tumors and neck, often benignes70 to 80%. Pleomorphic adenoma is the most common histological type. Clinical symptomatology is often poor, correlated with the mass effect of tumour on adjacent structures. We report the case of a primitive pleomorphic adenoma of the parapharyngeal space operated by cervical approch and we expose through a review of the literature on clinical characteristics, diagnostic and managment means.
