- Abstract
The article presents a case study of a Chinese male with T4N1M0 EBV-positive nasopharyngeal carcinoma. After he developed a painless left tonsillar enlargement, he underwent several examinations in his neck including ulceration of the nasopharynx and a radical tonsillectomy which came clinically negative. However in situ hybridization for EBV-encoded RNA (EBER) performed on the tonsillar tissue was strongly positive resulting in successful chemoradiation.
