Patients with early local recurrence of nasopharyngeal carcinoma with close proximity to the nearby carotid artery can be offered long-term control by endoscopic nasopharyngectomy which allows complete microscopic clearance of the recurrent tumour without damaging the carotid artery. This case report illustrates how this can be achieved without mutilating surgical procedures or further irradiation so that the patient can be spared of the associated morbidities.

早期局部復發的鼻咽癌患者，如復發位置鄰近頸動脈，可以通過內視鏡鼻咽切除術完整切除復發腫瘤而避免損傷頸動脈，並獲得長期的控制。本文報告一宗類似病例，患者可以避免破壞性手術及再程放療，並避免了相關的併發症。
