Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a tumor arising from the epithelial cells lining the nasopharynx. The development of a second primary tumor in subjects with a previous history of nasopharyngeal carcinoma is a rare event. The most common second primary cancer which can occur is sarcoma (0.14%), followed by leukemia and squamous cell carcinoma. In the present case, a second primary tumor (squamous cell carcinoma) on right lateral border of tongue in a 64 year old male patient treated for nasopharyngeal carcinoma with radiotherapy and chemotherapy 5 years previously is discussed.
