Abstract
There is a difficulty in complete removal of tumor developing at the parapharyngeal space or infratemporal space where they are just under the skull base. We have experienced 3 cases of malignant tumors and 5 cases of benign tumors arising from the parapharyngeal spaces and/or infratemporal space since 1976. We hereby present 8 cases of primary tumors arising in these spaces with a review of anatomical relationship between above spaces, the characteristic symptoms, diagnostic technics, and surgical approaches which should be considered in their management.
