초록
Mucoepidermoid carcinoma is a common cancer in the salivary glands, but very rarely in the nasopharynx. Since nasopharyngeal tumors often complain of only non-specific symptoms such as nasal obstruction or epistaxis, they are often discovered at an advanced stage, so proper diagnosis and treatment are important. We experienced a 68-year-old women who complained of nasal obstruction. She had a history of surgical removal of a low-grade mucoepidermoid carcinoma in the nasopharynx 18 years ago. On endoscopic examination, a mass was found in the same location of nasopharynx. It was confirmed that it had recurred as a high grade mucoepidermoid carcinoma, and was completely removed by an endoscopic approach. We report a case of recurred mucoepidermoid carcinoma of nasopharynx 18 years after surgery with a literature review.
Abstract
Mucoepidermoid carcinoma is a common cancer in the salivary glands, but very rarely in the nasopharynx. Since nasopharyngeal tumors often complain of only non-specific symptoms such as nasal obstruction or epistaxis, they are often discovered at an advanced stage, so proper diagnosis and treatment are important. We experienced a 68-year-old women who complained of nasal obstruction. She had a history of surgical removal of a low-grade mucoepidermoid carcinoma in the nasopharynx 18 years ago. On endoscopic examination, a mass was found in the same location of nasopharynx. It was confirmed that it had recurred as a high grade mucoepidermoid carcinoma, and was completely removed by an endoscopic approach. We report a case of recurred mucoepidermoid carcinoma of nasopharynx 18 years after surgery with a literature review.
