title: Nasopharyngeal carcinoma in children.
abstract: Ten children with lymphoepithelioma of the nasopharynx were reviewed. Six had regional spread at presentation and four developed distant metastases. Seven patients are alive, six free of disease. The 5-year survival rate was 62.5% of this series. Five patients presented later with endocrine abnormalities probably related to the radiotherapy; these endocrine problems were minimal and responded to therapy.
