We treated twenty-six patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma who consulted our department from January 1976 to September 1986. The most frequent initial site of symptom was the neck, followed by the nose and the ear. The period between the appearance of aural symptoms and the consultation was less than 12 months. The period between the consultation and the diagnosis of nasopharydgeal carcinoma was less than 13 months in pathents with aural symptoms. Eustachian tube function exhibited ventilatory dysfunction and mucociliary dysfunction caused by nasopharyngeal carcinoma. These cases were difficult to diagnose because the initial symptoms were unclear and varied. Prognosis was poor. Finding a means to diagnose early in the disease is highly desirable.
