ABSTRACT

Mucoepidermoid carcinoma of nasopharynx, a kind of primary adenocarcinoma of the the nasopharynx, is very rare and about 21 cases of mucoepidermoid carcinoma occurring in the nasopharynx were reported to date in the English literature. We recently experienced a case of mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the nasopharynx in a 31-year-old woman, who presented with nasopharyngeal mass and left lateral neck mass. We present this case with a review of the literature.
