【 摘 要 】

Objective: In this article, we report on two unusual cases of advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) with distant cutaneous metastases. Methods:                  Design: Case Report                 Setting: Tertiary Referral Center                 Patients: TwoResults:  Two patients with advanced NPC developed multiple nodular skin metastases, one after completing radiotherapy and another during concurrent chemo-radiotherapy. Biopsies of these skin lesions confirmed metastatic NPC and both patients succumbed to the disease. Conclusion: Nasopharyngeal carcinoma with skin metastases carries a very poorprognosis. Early detection, diagnosis and treatment are still the best management strategyfor nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Keywords:  Nasopharynx, nasopharyngeal carcinoma, skin metastases, cutaneous                           metastases
