Abstract
This is a case report of a 69-year-old male patient referred to the ENT out patients with right-sided epistaxis and hipoacusis. Fibroptic examination reveals a cystic lesion at the exit of the right eustachian. A CT scan is informed as a well delimited and rounded-shaped tumour compatible with lymphoma. Excisional biopsy by a nasal rigid endoscopy is practiced and the histology result is Warthin's tumour. The nasopharynx is a rather unusual location for this type of tumours, almost exclusive in origin of major salivary glands. It's highlighted the unforeseeable histological diagnosis in this particular anatomical region, where the clinical differential diagnosis is broad and the access difficult.Entities:
