A nasopharyngeal mass with cranial neuropathies usually indicates an advanced neoplastic process. We present a case of nasopharyngeal carcinoma diagnosed and treated 38 years ago. A nasopharyngeal mass recurred with cranial neuropathies and concurrent otologic infection in June, 1990. Repeated nasopharyngeal biopsies were negative with respect to tumors. Suspecting direct extension of the otologic infection, modified radical mastoidectomy was performed. The nasopharyngeal mass resolved after the surgical intervention. Spread of otologic infection from the temporal bone to the nasopharynx may be more common than was previously thought. Clinicians should modify diagnostic approaches in patients with a nasopharyngeal mass and concurrent otologic disease.
