Abstract
Among all the tumors presenting in the head and neck region, nasopharyngeal masses shows a broad range of benign and malignant tumors, fungal infections, granulomatous inflammation, autoimmune diseases and congenital lesions in children as well as adults. The commonly encountered masses are nasopharyngeal cancer, Juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma, lymphomas (2.5% of head and neck tumors), papilloma (0.5-4% of nasal tumors). Nasopharyngeal cancer shows a unique geographical variation in its incidence. Our study is an attempt to analyse in detail regarding the rare and interesting presentations of nasopharyngeal masses. We have chosen five cases which were the most interesting including an olfactory neuroblastoma and primary tuberculosis of adenoids in an immunocompetent patient and done a review of literature to give a comprehensive picture.
