Abstract EN
Background.
Pleomorphic adenomas occurring in the adult nasopharynx are rare, with our literature search identifying only 11 previous English-language reports.
We document the unusual case of a large nasopharyngeal pleomorphic adenoma that was resected using radiofrequency coblation via an endoscopic transnasal approach.
Methods.
A 39-year-old male presented with worsening nasal congestion, intermittent otalgia, and a progressive change in voice.
Flexible nasendoscopy showed a large homogeneous mass occupying the postnasal space, and computed tomography confirmed a 28 × 31 × 22 mm nasopharyngeal tumour.
The biopsy-proven benign tumour was locally dissected using a coblator-assisted transnasal approach.
Results.
Histology confirmed complete excision of a myoepithelial-rich pleomorphic adenoma.
The patient was symptom-free postoperatively, and no signs of recurrence were seen at one-year follow-up.
Conclusions.
This is a useful addition to the existing literature on surgical procedures used to treat benign pathology in the nasopharynx.
The minimally invasive technique was well tolerated and had favourable patient outcomes.
