OBJECTIVES: In this article, we report on two unusual cases of advanced nasopharyngeal cacinoma (NPC) with distant cutaneous metastases.

METHODS:
Design: Case Report
Setting: Tertiary Referral Center
Patients: Two

RESULTS: Two patients with advanced NPC developed multiple nodular skin metastases, one after completing radiotherapy and another during concurrent chemo-radiotherapy. Biopsies of these skin lesions confirmed metastatic NPC and both patients succumbed to the disease.

CONCLUSION: Nasopharyngeal carcinoma with skin metastases carries a very poor prognosis. Early detection, diagnosis and treatment are still the best management strategy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
