Abstract
The authors report a case, 23 year old male, of nasopharyngeal cancer, who complained of headache and nose obstruction.
These complaints were taken for symptoms of acute otitis media and chronic sinusitis, preventing early diagnosis. But later the tumor was extirpated by the palate method. The authors applied cobalt-irradiation as post operatic treatment. He is now under observation, but hls general condition is good and the wound is perfectly cured.
The tumor was histologically diagnosed as squamous epithelial cancer.
