This case study discusses a 62-year-old woman with undifferentiated nasopharyngeal carcinoma treated with radiotherapy and subsequent liver resection for metastasis. It highlights surgical management options for this rare liver metastasis.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a rare cancer in Western countries, more prevalent in Southeast Asia.
  • Radiotherapy is a primary treatment for undifferentiated nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

Observation:

  • A 62-year-old woman with undifferentiated nasopharyngeal carcinoma developed liver metastasis one year after radiotherapy.
  • The patient successfully underwent liver resection for the metastasis.

Findings:

  • Surgical resection is a viable option for managing liver metastasis from nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
  • This case underscores the importance of considering operative management for metastatic NPC.

Implications:

  • Further research into the surgical management of nasopharyngeal carcinoma liver metastasis is warranted.
