Nasopharyngeal presentation of renal cell carcinoma

In this case report, we present a 50-year- old woman, who presented with severe headache as her only presenting clinical symptom due to nasopharyngeal mass. Histo-pathological evaluation of the biopsy from nasopharyngeal mass revealed clear cell carcinoma. On further evaluation, an asymptomatic mass was detected in the left kidney. The metastatic lesion was treated with palliative radiotherapy. A search of the literature revealed no reports of such unusual metastasis in the nasopharynx from a primary carcinoma of the renal origin.
