Abstract EN
Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the nasopharynx is amongst the most common head and neck cancers.
The most common distant metastases are to the bone, liver and lung.
Herein, we are reporting a rare case of a 61-year-old man with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) who presented with 3 weeks history of blood streaked sputum, post nasal drip and blocked nose with no history of epistaxis, tinnitus and unilateral hearing loss.
Almost 2 years upon completion of his concurrent chemotherapy and radiotherapy, he developed a right hypochondrium mass and underwent colonoscopy which revealed a mass in ascending colon and which was then subsequently resected via right hemicolectomy.
Histological analyses from the resected specimen confirmed its nasopharyngeal origin.
