Polymorphous nasopharynx adenocarcinoma is a rare disease. It frequently occurs in the soft and hard palatal mucosa of the minor salivary glands. This adenocarcinoma has a slow infiltrating growing pattern with frequent perineural invasion and low metastatic potential.
We report a case of polymorphous nasopharyngeal adenocarcinoma with extension to the lateral pharyngeal space and closely proximal to the skull base and jugular vein.
