Choristoma of the nasopharynx.
A choristoma is a tumor-like mass consisting of tissues that are foreign to the site at which they are located. A hamartoma, on the other hand, is a tumor-like mass consisting of tissues that are native to the site of origin. We report a choristoma in the nasopharynx that consisted of normal skin tissue.
