Overview

CT scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma and it's metastasis to the lymph nodes, intracranial space, bone, chest, and liver. Findings on CT scan suggestive of nasopharyngeal carcinoma include soft tissue masses which most commonly centred at the lateral nasopharyngeal recess (fossa of Rosenmüller) and heterogeneous enhancement ofthe tumor in the CT scan with contrast.

CT scan

CT scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma and it's invasion. CT scan can be useful in:[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]
