Abstract:
We describe a 58-years-old man with a primary nasopharyngeal carcinoma accompanying erythroderma. His first symptoms were systemic scattered erythema and itching for six months. Lower right cervical lymphadenectasis was found by physical examination. A neoplasm in nasopharynx could be seen with nasal endoscope. The pathology of the neoplasm was non-keratinizing carcinoma. This case illustrates that "erythroderma" could be a paraneoplastic effect of nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
