Abstract:Objective to explore the clinical experience of diagnosis and treatment of juvenile nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC).Methods The clinical data of 2 cases of juvenile NPC were retrospectively analyzed. The clinical characteristics, diagnosis and treatment of this kind of patients were reviewed and discussed.Results Both patients in this paper were misdiagnosed at initial diagnosis. During the diagnosis and treatment of the patients, because the characteristics of the disease were not consistent with common diseases, but similar to NPC, nasopharyngeal biopsy was performed. Finally, the pathological report confirmed that the samples of nasopharyngeal biopsy were NPC. After diagnosis of NPC, they were given comprehensive treatment based on radiotherapy.Conclusions Clinical juvenile NPC patients were rare and develop rapidly. It is easy to be misdiagnosed at initial diagnosis. Clinicians should not only consider the diagnosis of common diseases, but also be alert to the possibility of NPC. And clinical NPC should be detected, diagnosed and treated early to improve the survival rate of patients.
