| description | Cervical lymphadenopathy is a common presentation of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). It can be
present in the classical location of the level II or VI lymph nodes or at any other levels of the lymph
nodes in the neck. NPC should be suspected when a patient presents with cervical lymphadenopathy
and conductive hearing loss. A thorough endoscopic assessment of the nasopharynx should be
performed to rule out this radiotherapy-curable disease at its early stage. |
