Abstract
|
|
|
Nasopharyngeal mass is a disease that can cause unilateral or bilateral nasal obstruction.
Common diseases that can cause nasal obstruction include antrochoanal polyp, adenoid remnants,juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma, and nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Nasopharyngealtuberculosis and nasopharyngeal sarcoidosis are two rare diseases that involve the nasopharynxand manifest as nasopharyngeal mass, and they share common histopathologicfindings of granulomatous inflammation. We report a case where a patient complaining of nasalobstruction was found with nasopharyngeal mass with smooth surface, which was difficultto differentiate nasopharyngeal tuberculosis from nasopharyngeal sarcoidosis due to similarclinical manifestations and histopathologic findings.
