Abstract EN
Nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC) is the most common cancer among head and neck cancer that usually presented with unilateral neck mass.
Unusual symptoms of NPC can lead us to diagnosis misleading and delayed definitive treatment.
We present a case of NPC with bone metastasis in the shoulder.
A 33-year-old female presented with right shoulder mass caused by undifferentiated carcinoma of unknown primary, based on biopsy of shoulder mass.
After four months, she was complaining painless neck swelling, headache, and hearing impairment in the left ear.
Bone MRI showed malignant bone tumour in the right humerus.
Neck CT scan showed mass in the nasopharyngeal and bilateral lymphadenopathy.
Biopsy in nasopharyngeal revealed undifferentiated carcinoma of nasopharyngeal cancer (WHO-3 type A).
The patient was diagnosed as NPC stage IVb and thus was treated with palliative chemotherapy.
After three cycles of cisplatin docetaxel, patient condition improved.
