Low-grade nasopharyngeal papillary adenocarcinoma (NPAC) is a rare nasopharyngeal malignancy that runs an indolent course. It presents with a variety of symptoms including but not limited to nasal obstruction, runny nose, postnasal drip, and nasal bleeding. The main stay of treatment is surgery, but other adjuvant treatments including radiotherapy and photodynamic therapy have been used with varying degrees of successes. Due to its low grade nature and absence of distant metastases, its prognosis is excellent. Here, we report the case of a 22-year-old young woman with low-grade NPAC who was treated in our hospital by simple surgical excision.
低级别鼻咽乳头状腺癌(NPAC)是一种罕见的鼻咽部恶性肿瘤,病程进展缓慢。它会出现多种症状,包括但不限于鼻塞、流涕、鼻后滴漏和鼻出血。治疗的主要手段是手术,但也使用了包括放疗和光动力疗法在内的其他辅助治疗方法,且取得了不同程度的成功。由于其低级别特性且无远处转移,其预后良好。在此,我们报告一例在我院接受单纯手术切除治疗的22岁低级别NPAC年轻女性病例。
