| description | We report an extremely rare case of nasopharyngeal carcinoma in a 14-year old boy presenting with neck
and chest wall metastasis. Radiological and histological examinations established the diagnosis of
nasopharyngeal carcinoma with non-keratinizing undifferentiated, WHO Type III form. He received 3
courses of chemotherapy followed by 35 cycles of radiotherapy. The primary site and the neck and chest
wall metastases responded well with treatment. At 3 years follow up, the patient is still in a symptomfree
and relapse-free state. Despite presenting late, juvenile onset WHO type 3 NPC showed a good
response to chemoradiotherapy in our teenage patient. |
