Abstract
Nasopharyngeal tuberculosis is a rare disease with few cases having been reported in recent years.
A 43-year-old male complained of multiple cervical masses. Posterior rhinoscopy showed a white mass in the right nasopharynx. Biopsy of the epipharyngeal mass showed tuberculous changes. Anti-tuberculosis chemotherapy was administed for 3 months, which greatly reduced the nasopharyngeal and cervical masses.
Nasopharyngeal tuberculosis was difficult to differentiate from malignant diseases (carcinoma, malignant lymphoma), so pathological examination was useful for definitive diagnosis.
