From our daily experiences of nasopharyngoscopy, we may be confused of the endoscopy results of patients with clinical symptoms of upper respiratory infections or allergies/inflammatory conditions.
As our working place is in the South East Asia,we are aware of the possibility of malignant lesions of the upper airways.(i.a. nasopharyngeal cancer and/or malignant lymphoma.)
The possibility of viral infections is our highest awareness to refer of the high incidences of Epstein- Barr virus infections with its implication in nasopharyngeal (epithelial) cancers.
If we look into our daily works,we can say that most of the cases were infections/inflammatory.Some of the cases showed granulomatous lesions/polypoid lesions as shown in these endoscopic pictures.
