We described 2 cases of pleomorphic adenoma as parapharyngeal masses, one of the deep lobule of the parotid gland and the other one in palatine accessory salivary glands. After computed tomography (CAT) we made the anatomopathological diagnosis of pleomorphic adenoma with fine needle aspiration. We discuss about the role of CAT in diagnosis of pleomorphic adenoma occupying the parapharyngeal space.
