Abstract
Abstract Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a rare malignancy of epidermoid origin, one that is especially uncommon in children in low risk areas such as the United States. The relative rarity in children makes the diagnosis of this malignancy difficult, and therefore childhood nasopharyngeal carcinoma is associated with advanced locoregional disease and higher prevalence of distant metastasis. A case of pediatric nasopharyngeal carcinoma is described here to highlight a possible presentation of this uncommon pediatric disease and reasons for delayed diagnosis. This is followed by a brief discussion of epidemiology, diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes for this malignancy in children.
