Lesions in the parapharyngeal space are rare and account for 0.5-1.5% of all head and neck tumours. Of these, venous malformations represent 1% of all parapharyngeal space tumors. In the current paper, we reported a 5-year-old patient who presented with a soft tissue swelling of the parapharyngeal space that was discovered by her parents after two weeks following adenoidectomy. The MRI revealed a tumour within the parapharyngeal space with a well-defined mass with low-signal intensity on T1 and high on T2. The internal flow voids also proposed phleboliths. Therefore, the tumour was removed by an intraoral approach. The post-op pathology result explicated a venous malformation.
