Abstract
A clinical observation of successful transoral removal of a giant tumor (lipoma) located on the anterior surface of the C1—C4 vertebral bodies with spreading into their structures is described. The presented case demonstrates that the use of minimally invasive surgical techniques and approaches can achieve good clinical results of surgical treatment when the pathology is localized in the parapharyngeal space for a significant length.
