Abstract

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma most frequently appears with effusion of middle-ear, epistaxis, nasal obstruction, neck mass and atypical facial pain. In this case report, a 33 year-old female patient with high fever, lymphadenopathy and hepatosplenomegaly which continued for two years was presented. Lymph node biopsies revealed chronic lymphadenitis. Due to the rare prevelance of high fever and hepatosplenomegaly in non-metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma, the present case is evaluated in the light of the literature.

Özet

Nazofarinks kanseri, en sık orta kulak efüzyonu, epistaksis, nazal obstruksiyon, boyunda kitle, diplopi ve atipik fasiyal ağrı ile kendini gösterir. İki yıl boyunca süren yüksek ateş,, lenf bezi büyümesi ve hepatosplenomegali ile seyreden 33 yaşındaki kadın hastadan alınan lenf bezi biyopsileri kronik lenfadenit ve reaktif lenf nodu olarak geldiktan sonra takipte ortaya çıkan nazofarinks kanserini nadir görülen kliniği nedeniyle sunmak istedik. Uzunca bir dönem hem primer tümör hem de metastaz bulunmaksızın ortaya çıkan organomegali, lenfadenopati ve yüksek ateş durumu, atipik bir klinik presentasyon sergilediğinden literatür bilgisi ışığında değerlendirdik.
