초록
Low grade nasopharyngeal papillary adenocarcinoma (LGNPPA) is an extremely rare variant of nasopharyngeal cancer, which exhibits distinct clinicopathological characteristics. Surgical resection has been regarded as the principal treatment. For this, transpalatal or transfacial approach has been classically used for exposure of the field. Up for now, there has been no report on applying endoscopic approach for this disease, which could be an effective alternative to minimize possible morbidities of palatotomy or maxillotomy. Endoscopic approach can be justified considering narrow extent and indolent behavior of LGNPPA. We report a patient with LGNPPA, which was successfully resected exclusively by endoscopic visualization. Our case exhibited narrow-based exophytic features with compatible immunopathologic profiles of LGNPPA. Exclusive endoscopic resection can be effective and less-morbid modality for this rare disease as in this case
