Small cell carcinoma is predominantly found in the lung and only about 5% of small cell carcinoma cases have been noted to be extrapulmonary; these are commonly found in the esophagus, pancreas, skin, uterus, and breast. A head and neck origin for small cell carcinoma is extremely rare. Both pulmonary and extrapulmonary small cell carcinomas usually have a good response to chemotherapy initially, but a poor prognosis finally. We report here a case of small cell carcinoma of the nasopharynx. The patient underwent chemotherapy and irradiation for the disease, but died of lung metastasis 38 months later.
