Abstract

We report the case of a 55 year-old man admitted in May 1993 for squamous cell carcinoma of the nasopharynx (T2N2M0). Initial polychemotherapy and radiotherapy were performed in nasopharynx and cervical nodes. After 8 months of complete remission, a choroidian tumoral process appeared. Due to the rarety of this localization of nasopharynx carcinoma, we reviewed the diagnosis with immunohistochemistry that showed T-cell extensive immunoblastic non Hodgkin lymphoma.
