作者对从1962～1973年间所治疗的各种咽旁间隙肿瘤40例进行回溯分析。其中82％为良性病变,18％为恶性病变。对某些病例曾采用动脉造影以辅助诊断。良性肿瘤一般不宜从口内切开活检。首选的治疗法为从外作切口切除。良性病变的复发率较低,但恶性病变的复发率则很高,对其治疗效果应慎重判定。 The authors retrospectively analyzed 40 cases of various parapharyngeal space tumors treated from 1962 to 1973. Of these, 82% were benign lesions and 18% were malignant lesions. Arterial angiography has been used in some cases to aid diagnosis. Benign tumors are generally not suitable for biopsy. The preferred treatment is to remove incisions from the outside. The recurrence rate of benign lesions is low, but the recurrence rate of malignant lesions is very high, and its therapeutic effect should be carefully judged.
