Nasopharyngeal carcinoma with synchronous breast metastasis: A case report

Figure 1 Nasopharyngeal magnetic resonance imaging. A and B: Images of the nasopharynx at admission. The right wall of the nasopharynx appeared thickened, and nasopharyngeal carcinoma was considered.

Figure 2 Breast magnetic resonance imaging. A and B: Images of the breasts at admission. The masses in the upper quadrant of the right breast and outer quadrant of the left breast were obviously enhanced, and the time-signal intensity curve was continuously rising; C and D: Images of the breasts after six cycles of chemotherapy showing mild-to-moderate, uneven enhancement of the right breast. However, no enhancement was observed in the left breast, and the time-signal intensity curve for both breasts was type I.

Figure 3 Breast color Doppler ultrasound images. A and B: Images of the breasts at admission showing irregular masses on both sides, with incomplete margins, angulation, and burrs; C and D: Images of the breasts after six cycles of chemotherapy showing that the masses had significantly decreased in size, with uneven internal echo and no point-like strong echo.

Figure 4 Images obtained via nasopharyngeal endoscopy. A and B: Images at admission indicated that the right nasopharyngeal mucosa appeared rough and bulging, and the pharyngeal recesses were shallow; C and D: Images obtained after six cycles of chemotherapy revealed that the nasopharyngeal walls were smooth, without an obvious tumor.
