In this report, a 22-year old man with multiple subcutaneous lumps and submucosal lumps in bilateral nasal cavity and pharyngeal cavity is presented, which was diagnosed by nasopharyngeal endoscope,computed tomography scan and biopsy. The subcutaneous lumps were ablated and prednisone was accepted for three months as preventive therapy.
