Nasopharyngeal carcinoma with secondaries at the porta hepatis presenting as obstructive jaundice
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 29 June 2007
Abstract
Recent reports have dispelled the previously held concept that head and neck cancer rarely metastases beyond the cervical lymph nodes. Nasopharyngeal cancer has been reported to have a higher incidence of distant metastases compared to other head and neck cancers, the common sites being bone, lung and liver. A case of nasopharyngeal carcinoma presenting as obstructive jaundice because of secondaries at the porta hepatis is presented here.
