Abstract EN
Nasopharyngeal soft tissue is most commonly adenoid hypertrophy in children.
Although rare, nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) does occur in children.
Nasal obstruction, serous otitis media, hearing problems, and tinnitus are common signs and symptoms of all nasal diseases.
For this reason, the majority of NPC presents with advanced disease at the time of the diagnosis.
This paper reported 7-year-old boy who was admitted to the hospital for adenoidectomy.
He had recurrent adenoidectomy operation due to nasal obstruction.
NPC had been diagnosed suspecting the hard mass in the nasopharynx during the operation.
Adenoidectomy is the most commonly performed surgical procedure in ENT practice and NPC is unlikely to be considered in the differential diagnosis.
Surgeon should be careful about signs and symptoms that alert suspicion.
