The Rare Primary Low Grade Papillary Adenocarcinoma of Nasopharynx: A Diagnostic Challenge and Management

Low Grade Papillary Nasopharyngeal Adenocarcinoma (LGPAC) is a very rare tumour of mucosal origin compared to a higher incidence of well differentiated keratinized/non-keratinized nasopharyngeal carcinoma. It is an epithelial tumour with glandular differentiation. Its papillary figure seen histologi...
