Overview

The authors present two cases of parapharyngeal ganglioneuromas. This, as a rulewell differentiated benign neuroectodermal tumour, is usually in the posterior mediastinum and ina retroperitoneal position. It is very rarely found in the parapharyngeal space. The first caseinvolved a ganglioneuroma in a two-year-old girl with a typical histological picture. The secondpatient was a 58-year-old woman where histological examination of the tumor proved signs ofmalignization and the affection was consistent with a malignant schwannoma which developed inthe ganglioneuroma. We assume that a manifestation of malignization in a de novo formed ganglioneuromawas involved and not secondary maturing of a ganglioneuroma from a neuroblastoma.

Key words:
parapharyngeal space, ganglioneuroma, malignant schwannoma, neuroblastoma.
