title: The nasopharynx in oral and maxillofacial radiology. I. Benign lesions.
abstract: This is not a comprehensive review of all benign lesions that can be found in the nasopharynx, but merely a review of the relationship of the nasopharynx to its surroundings. It is also a reminder of the need for the oral and maxillofacial radiologist to be familiar with this area, because it often appears on radiographs made for other purposes, or to investigate problems that have extended to and from the nasopharynx and the oral and maxillofacial region.
