Abstract

The first case of low-grade papillary adenocarcinoma of the nasopharynx is described from an area where carcinoma in the nasopharynx is endemic. Clinicopathological features are detailed and differences between the prevalent nasopharyngeal cancer and low-grade nasopharyngeal papillary adenocarcinoma are emphasized. This tumour requires positive identification as surgical management is necessary to avoid the possibility of future recurrence.
