Nasopharynx cancer is a rare type of head and neck cancer. The most common histological types are squamous cell carcinoma and lymphoepithelial carcinoma. It can cause symptoms like unilateral conductive hearing loss, middle ear effusion, and lymph node metastasis at the mandibular angle.
These tumours are very radiosensitive, which is lucky because surgery is difficult. Radiochemotherapy is the preferred treatment.
