| Abstract |
|
Nasopharyngeal carcinoma is a primary malignancy of nasopharyngeal epithelium, firstly de-
scribed as a separate entity by Regaud and Schmincke in 1921. Although it is a rare tumor, reprsent-
ing less than 1% of pediatric malignancies, it accounts for 9% of the nasopharyngeal neoplasms of
childhood, and has not been reported in Korean child.
We experienced two cases of nasopharyngeal carcinoma in a 10 year-old boy and a 12 year-old girl
brought to SNUCH because of neck masses. The boy received radiotherapy and chemotherapy to
include cisplatin, bleomycin, and 5-FU with dramatic resolution of tumor.
We report two cases of childhood nasopharyngeal carcinoma with brief review of the related
literatures. |
