Abstract

Nasopharyngeal cancer constitutes about 0.61% of all cancers. Being the “blind spot” of head and neck, it is usually missed in its early stage if one is not aware of it . As a rule that biopsy of a lump in the neck must not be done unless a primary in the nasopharynx, hypopharynx, larynx or even oesophagus and stomach is first excluded. However, this rule is some times ignored as evident from the two cases being reported.
