The article describes a rare case of rhabdomyoma parapharyngeal space. A peculiarity of the clinical case is the appearance after the biopsy of massive pharyngeal bleeding from the leak into the larynx, which required urgent tracheostomy and dressing of the external carotid artery. The tumor is removed by external access, a week after the elimination of complications. The result of histological examination is rhabdomyoma. The tumor of the parapharyngeal space occurs periodically, however rhabdomyomas are rare diseases.
