We report on a patient who presented to the Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) clinic with swelling of the neck, dysphagia, headache, dyspnea and stridor. Imaging studies revealed an expansive heterogeneous process to the left retropharyngeal region. The mass was ovoid in shape, displaying moderate enhancement after intravenous contrast administration. Subsequently, a biopsy revealed the presence of undifferentiated sarcoma. The patient was treated with chemotherapy followed by radiation therapy, but follow-up exams at 6 months posttreatment revealed that while the tumor was stable, it persisted. Consequently, the patient was enrolled in a palliative care and pain control program and is currently being followed.
我们报告了一名患者，该患者因颈部肿胀、吞咽困难、头痛、呼吸困难和喘鸣而就诊于耳鼻喉科诊所。影像学检查显示左咽后区有一个膨胀性的异质性病变。肿块呈椭圆形，静脉注射造影剂后显示中度强化。随后，活检显示存在未分化肉瘤。该患者接受了化疗，随后进行了放射治疗，但治疗后6个月的随访检查显示，虽然肿瘤稳定，但仍然存在。因此，该患者参加了姑息治疗和疼痛控制项目，目前正在接受随访。
