1Department of ENT, Union Hospital, Tongji Medical University, Wuhan 430030.
Objective:
To understand the nasopharyngeal submucous carcinoma with the first show of cervical lymph node swell.
Method:
To collect the clinical data of 4 patients with such disease.
Result:
The 4 cases of nasopharyngeal submucous carcinoma were not diagnosed until 3-6 months after cervical lymphnode metastasis. All patients received radiotherapy, three died within 1 year and another survived.
Conclusion:
If some patients have cervical lymph node swell, pay attention to the metastasis of nasopharyngeal submucous carcinoma firstly. Even the examinations such as cytologic test, VCA-IgA, CT, MRI were negative, or even tuberculomas had been diagnosed, nasopharyngeal submucous carcinoma still can not be excluded.
