Abstract

A case of an isolated pleomorphic adenoma of the retropharyngeal space is reported, this has not been documented previously in the literature. Attention is drawn to the wide spectrum of benign and malignant neoplasms that can potentially occur within this complex anatomical region. The importance of a systematic and logical approach to the management of such lesions is emphasized.
