Recent reports have dispelled the previously held concept that head and neck cancer rarely metastases beyond the cervical lymph nodes. Nasopharyngeal cancer has been reported to have a higher incidence of distant metastases compared to other head and neck cancers, the common sites being bone, lung and liver. A case of nasopharyngeal carcinoma presenting as obstructive jaundice because of secondaries at the porta hepatis is presented here.
最近的报告消除了之前人们所持有的观念，即头颈癌很少转移至颈部淋巴结以外的部位。据报道，与其他头颈癌相比，鼻咽癌远处转移的发生率更高，常见部位为骨、肺和肝。本文报告了一例因肝门部转移瘤导致梗阻性黄疸的鼻咽癌病例。
