Nasopharyngeal Metastasis from Lung Adenocarcinoma: A Case Report and Literature Review.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Managing uncommon metastatic sites from different solid tumors is challenging since no available guidelines define the best therapeutic approaches for these rare clinical events. Thus, malignancies giving rise to distant metastases involving infrequent anatomical regions are often associated with a poor prognosis.

Case presentation

The lesion was identified with a computed tomography scan and its origin from the earlier non-small cell lung cancer was confirmed by a biopsy. The patient was successfully treated with radiation therapy and is currently continuing his oncological follow-
