title: [Tubal involvement in nasopharyngeal carcinoma].
abstract: Nasopharyngeal carcinomas are frequently diagnosed in advanced stages in patients who present with secretory otitis or neck mass. However, survival after treatment is directly related to early diagnosis. The present study analyzed Eustachian tube involvement in nasopharyngeal carcinoma as a pathogenic mechanism in secretory otitis. The presence of otologic symptoms was correlated with the morphological description of the tumor and clinical manifestations in 198 patients with nasopharyngeal carcicoma.
