The incidence of occult disease from maxillary sinus tumors is surprisingly high for a site where traditionally No necks are not treated prophylactically. It is probably reasonable to treat the necks prophylactically when the risk of subsequent failure (untreated) is greater than about 15%. The incidence of clinically apparent and occult disease in the cervical neck nodes is also a function of the stage of the primary tumor. Table 4-2 shows the incidence of nodal disease for floor-of-themouth primaries as a function of T-stage.

The use of MR in imaging the nasopharynx has been reported (DILLON et al. 1984). MR was found superior to CT for displaying superficial and deep nasopharyngeal soft tissues in all normal subjects and most (10 out of 12) subjects with malignancy. In particular, MR did well in differentiating mucosa and tonsillar tissue from surrounding musculature.
