"Tornwaldt cysts are developmental and usually asymptomatic. In most cases they are found incidentally; as such, age of diagnosis typically represents age of imaging of the nasopharynx. Peak incidence has been variably reported between the ages of 15 and 60 years 1,3, which may be due to gradual accumulation of fluid in the cyst following obliteration of its neck."
"There is a report of Tornwaldt cyst formation following concurrent chemoradiotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma 6."
"There is usually no real differential, however adenoidal/mucosal masses can sometimes have cystic components, and therefore the differential includes:"
