Abstract
|
|
|
|
Nasopharyngeal carcinoma is a unique head and neck malignant tumor in terms of epidemiology, pathology, and prognosis. It has been demonstrated that the pathogenesis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma is associated with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). A 52-year-old man was referred for a solitary erythematous patch on the left cheek. The biopsy specimen showed nasopharyngeal carcinoma with positive EBV RNA stain. The incidence of cutaneous metastasis is rare. When skin metastasis develops, it suggests a progressive state of the disease, although it is common for distant metastasis to occur at other sites. Herein, we describe our experience with an uncommon case of nasopharyngeal carcinoma presenting cutaneous metastasis.
