Résumé
We encountered a rare case of venous malformation located in the parapharyngeal space. The 65-year-old female patient did not have any symptoms, and the malformation was discovered incidentally during a clinical survey. Examination of the oral cavity revealed a mass in the left soft palate. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a well-defined mass in the left parapharyngeal space. Fine needle aspiration cytology suggested no malignancy. Four years after the first visit, she underwent surgery for diagnosis and treatment. We safely removed the mass with a rigid videoendoscope trans-orally. No postoperative complications arose, and she was discharged 7 days after the operation. Histopathological examination identified cavernous hemangioma. Venous malformation (cavernous hemangioma) of the parapharyngeal space is very rare, and few cases of removal under a transoral approach using a rigid endoscope with a flexible tip have been reported. This approach is safe and can be recommended for selected tumors of the parapharyngeal space.
