Abstract：Objective To investigate clinical and imaging characteristics of parapharyngeal space pleomorphic adenoma with ossified capsule in order to improve diagnostic level.Methods Clinical data of one parapharyngeal space pleomorphic adenoma patient with ossified capsule was retrospectively analyzed.Results The patient was admitted for dizziness more than 2 months and discovering parapharyngeal space mass for 1 month.Relative pharyngeal cavity stenosis,grade Ⅲ right tonsil and grade Ⅱ left tonsil were found.Head CT scan showed that the 2.4 cm×3.6 cm×3.8 cm eggshell-like mass was found in right parapharyngeal space,lesion was mixed soft tissue with slightly high density image,and border was surrounded by eggshell-like ossified capsule with a little low density area in it,and then mixed salivary gland tumor was considered.Head MRI showed that tuft-like mixed image was found in right parapharyngeal space and visible envelope-like image.Exsection was performed,and pleomorphic adenoma with calcification was diagnosed by postoperative pathological result.The patient was cured and discharged.Conclusion The parapharyngeal space pleomorphic adenoma with ossified capsule is rare,and therefore relevant examination should be performed in time to reduce incidence rate of misdiagnosis and mistreatment.
