Abstract
Neoplasms of the parapharyngeal space are uncommon and usually present as an intra-oral or neck mass. They often elude early diagnosis due t o their deep-seated nature. Here we report a case presenting with recu rrent oedema of the uvula. The pathophysiology of this previously unre ported mode of presentation is discussed.
