Angioleiomyoma is a benign, slow-growing soft tissue tumor originating from vascular smooth muscles. Angioleiomyoma in head and neck region is extremely rare, and when it is present, it is more commonly seen in the auricle, nasal cavity, lip, and buccal mucosa. We present a case of asymptomatic angioleiomyoma involving parapharyngeal and prevertebral space.
