An unusual case of recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma occurring within the stroma of benign nasal polyps is described. The patient was primarily treated with radiotherapy at first diagnosis. Two years later, he was diagnosed to have benign nasal polyps and had endoscopic sinus surgery. The recurrence was only diagnosed from histological examination of the polyps. The necessity for preoperative histological examination of any nasal polyp in patients with a past history of nasopharyngeal carcinoma and the importance of histological examination of all nasal polyps removed at surgery are emphasized.
本文描述了一例罕见的复发性鼻咽癌病例，肿瘤发生于良性鼻息肉的间质内。患者初诊时主要接受了放射治疗。两年后，他被诊断患有良性鼻息肉并接受了鼻内镜鼻窦手术。仅通过对息肉的组织学检查才诊断出复发。强调了对有鼻咽癌病史患者的任何鼻息肉进行术前组织学检查的必要性，以及对手术切除的所有鼻息肉进行组织学检查的重要性。
