J Craniofac Surg. 2014;25(2):e161-3. doi: 10.1097/SCS.0000000000000461.

Abstract

In this article, the authors report their management with minimally invasive surgery of a bulky capillary hemangioma in the parapharyngeal space. Parapharyngeal space capillary hemangioma is a rare tumor in adults. Because of its rarity and difficulty to treat, we suggest a multidisciplinary approach in choosing the best treatment, with an accurate follow-up.
