Lesions that mimic malignant tumors in nasopharyngeal biopsies: case series of 10 years

Abstract: Introduction: Lesions mimicking malignancies in the nasopharynx are frequently seen in adult patients. These include inflammatory, metaplastic, and cystic lesions. We aimed to draw attention to rare tumor-like lesions that can be confused with malignancies and cause diagnostic difficulties clinically and radiologically.

“…GST can be divided into intragastric type (the tumor is located under the mucosa and grows into the lumen), extragastric type (the tumor is located under the gastric serosa and grows into the lumen) (C1994-2020 China Academic Journal ETlectronic Pu), and mixed type according to the tumor growth mode. GST has abundant blood supply, most of which are hematogenous metastasis or intraperitoneal implant metastasis; lymph node metastasis and liver metastasis are rare [ 19 , 20 ]. GST most often occurs in the gastric body.…”
