The incidence of retro-parapharyngeal localization of cervical adenitis due to non-tuberculous mycobacteria is very rare. We present a case of an 18-months-old child with an involvement of parapharyngeal and retropharyngeal areas, right parotid and submandibular regions by atypical mycobacteriosis in the CT and MRI scan. The masses were surgically removed and the frozen-section histological exam upheld their atypical mycobacterial origin.

Abstract
The incidence of retro-parapharyngeal localization of cervical adenitis due to non-tuberculous mycobacteria is very rare. We present a case of an 18-months-old child with an involvement of parapharyngeal and retropharyngeal areas, right parotid and submandibular regions by atypical mycobacteriosis in the CT and MRI scan. The masses were surgically removed and the frozen-section histological exam upheld their atypical mycobacterial origin.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
