Özet

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma most frequently appears with effusion of middle-ear, epistaxis, nasal obstruction, neck mass and atypical facial pain. In this case report, a 33 year-old female patient with high fever, lymphadenopathy and hepatosplenomegaly which continued for two years was presented. Lymph node biopsies revealed chronic lymphadenitis. Due to the rare prevelance of high fever and hepatosplenomegaly in non-metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma, the present case is evaluated in the light of the literature.
