A rare case of extracranial meningioma in parapharyngeal space presented as a neck mass

Background Meningiomas are the most common intracranial tumor, but rarely, they can develop extracranially, usually in the neck. There are very few cases of parapharyngeal meningioma reported in literature and little is known about their biological behavior and operative management. We present a patient with a primary parapharyngeal meningioma that presented as an anterior neck mass.
