Imaging appearances for recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma and post-salvage nasopharyngectomy
چکیده انگلیسی

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a head and neck neoplasm that occurs in endemic numbers among people of southern Chinese descent. External beam radiation to the nasopharyngeal bed and primary draining lymph node echelons is the mainstay of treatment with concurrent cisplatin-based chemotherapy for more advanced disease. Detection of residual and/or recurrent NPC has important clinical implications, as salvage protocols are available. The review aims to increase awareness of the imaging features of NPC recurrences at local and distant sites using computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and positron-emission tomography (PET). Important changes in imaging seen in patients after nasopharyngectomy are also discussed.
