“…A s rare as salivary gland malignancies are in the general population, they are even rarer in children. [1][2][3][4] Salivary gland neoplasms represent 1% to 3% of all head and neck malignancies in the general populuation, and within the salivary malignancy group, less than 5% were seen in children. 3,5 As in adults, pediatric salivary tumors most frequently involve the parotid gland.…”

“…The case report by Bhadani et al of a 15-year-old female child does not mention the approach used for excision [7]. The other report by Brigger et al of a 16-year-old male child is a small tumor measuring 4.5 × 3.5 × 3.0 cm excised transorally [8]. Our case is the 20th case reported to date.…”

Background Parapharyngeal Space tumors are rare tumors of the head and neck. They most commonly arise from the deep lobe of the parotid gland. Most of these tumors are in seen in adults and de novo origin from the minor salivary glands is extremely rare. The surgical approach needs to tailor made depending on the extent of the disease. Case presentation A female child presented with chief complaints of swelling below the left ear for 9 months. On examination, the swelling was firm and non-tender, measuring 6 × 4 cm. A smooth bulge was seen in the left oropharynx, pushing the uvula to the opposite side. Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) showed features of Pleomorphic Adenoma. Contrast-Enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) revealed a 4 × 6.1 × 6.7 cm well-defined solid lesion in the left parapharyngeal space. It was isointense on T1 and hyperintense on T2. Surgical excision was done via semi trans-parotid cervical approach. The tumor was solid and seen separately from the parotid gland, suggestive of a de novo tumor diagnosed as pleomorphic adenoma on histopathology. The patient made a good recovery and is disease free at 1 year of follow-up. Conclusion Semi-transparotid combined with the cervical approach is a feasible option for large parapharyngeal space tumors without the need for mandibulotomy.
