Abstract
introduction: We report a case of vagal paraganglioma which presented as parapharyngeal mass in otherwise healthy woman. The CT scanning revealed a 5x5 cm diameter right parapharyngeal mass which displaced oropharyngeal lateral wall, medially.Patient underwent neck exploration using cervical -parotid approach. After identification of facial nerve and its lower branch which was retracted superiorly,a red brownish hypervascular mass was exposed, the mass and displaced carotid artery and its branches antrolaterally and originated from vagus nerve and resected with a part of nerve Conclusion:Although vagal praganglioma mostly presents as dysphonia due to vocal cord paralysis it maybe presents exclusively as neck mass and its parapharyngeal component.
