CANCER of the nasal pharynx comprises a small percentage of all malignant growths of the head and neck. It has a high incidence of occurrence in male subjects (about 80 per cent)1 and has a tendency to occur at a younger age than does cancer in other regions of the upper part of the respiratory and alimentary tracts. Statistical studies indicate that about 7 per cent of all fatal cancers in men originate in the oral region.2 Tumors of the nasal pharynx, roughly speaking, fall into three groups, namely, carcinomas, sarcomas and endotheliomas. Under the head of carcinomas, many types occur: squamous carcinoma, scirrhous carcinoma, nonepidermoid or basocellularis carcinoma, epidermoid or spinocellularis carcinoma, intermediary epidermoid carcinoma, anaplastic carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, undifferentiated carcinoma, transitional cell carcinoma and lymphoepithelioma.3 The difference between transitional cell carcinoma and lymphoepithelioma is little, the main difference being the amount of lymphocytic infiltration.
