Abstract

|
|
A 59-year-old male treated with radiotherapy presented with recurrent nasopharyngeal mass during the follow- up period of 21 months. Recurrence was confirmed by biopsy. The recurrence was relatively localized and no re- gional or distal metastasis was observed by imaging study. Transnasal endoscopic excision of tumor was per- formed with safety margin of 0.5 cm. The patient was discharged 1 day after surgery without any complication and there was no recurrence during the follow-up period of 2 years. In this case, we propose that surgical remov- al by transnasal endoscopic approach is feasible for treatment of early-stage recurrent nasopharyngeal cancer.
