We report a rare case of late parotid metastasis from undifferentiated nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) occurring 10 years post-chemoradiotherapy. Despite negative EBV status, negative biopsies and inconclusive cytology, histopathology confirmed recurrence. The case underscores the challenging diagnosis of post-treatment NPC late metastases and emphasizes the need for vigilance in similar cases.
我们报告了一例罕见的未分化鼻咽癌(NPC)放疗化疗后10年出现腮腺晚期转移的病例。尽管EBV状态为阴性、活检结果为阴性且细胞学检查结果不明确,但组织病理学确诊为复发。该病例凸显了治疗后鼻咽癌晚期转移的诊断挑战,并强调了对类似病例保持警惕的必要性。
