We describe a case of acinic cell carcinoma (ACC) of the parapharyngeal space in a 58-year-old woman. A tumor originating from the deep lobe of the parotid gland was totally excised by an external cervical approach. The occurrence of ACC in the parapharyngeal space is extremely rare. We discuss the management, especially surgical procedure, of ACC in this area.
