โœฆ Synopsis

A 33-year-old woman was initially seen for evaluation of a lump in her throat that she noticed while cleaning her teeth. She does not have otalgia, dysphagia, odynophagia, hoarseness, or difficulty opening her mouth. She is in good health and is a nonsmoker.

Physical examination reveals a submucosal mass in the right lateral oropharyngeal wall with medial displacement of the right tonsil. There is not trismus but a firm, 4 cm ร— 2 cm mass was palpable deep to the right sternocleidomastoid muscle below the angle of the mandible. The superior extent of the mass could not be palpated in the neck. There are no cranial nerve deficits.

An MRI was obtained and is shown in Figure 1.

## Abstract Tumors arising in the parapharyngeal space are rare. Even more rare are those which originate from the pharyngeal and parapharyngeal musculature. Three examples of muscle tumors presenting as paraphyarngeal masses are reported, ie, a rhabdomyoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, and a leiomyosarcoma,

Carotid sinus hypersensitivity secondary to the presence of head and neck carcinoma has been recently reviewed in the otolaryngologic literature. We present a case of carotid sinus hypersensitivity coupled with glossopharyngeal neuralgia due to tonsillar carcinoma invading the parapharyngeal space.

Ossifying Fibromyxoid Tumor (OFMT) is a rare, recently described tumor. As such, there is a paucity of information in the literature regarding this neoplasm. Most reports cite that the tumor most commonly occurs subcutaneously in the soft tissues of the extremities. [1][2][3] Additionally, OFMT has
