Abstract
Solitary fibrous tumors are rare vascular tumours, earlier referred to
as hemangiopericytoma. Their occurrence in parapharyngeal space is very
rare. Hence, they should also be considered in the differential
diagnosis of parapharyngeal soft tissue tumours. This case is being
reported to bring out an extremely rare vascular tumour at rare site and
represents a surgical challenge because of difficult access in
parapharyngeal space with difficult planes between tumour and rest of
parapharyngeal space, approach to it is also difficult
