MRI Nasopharynx and Neck. | |
A full staging scan was performed in view of preliminary findings | |
Axial T1W | |
Coronal T2W | |
Axial T2 SPIR | |
Axial and coronal T1W post contrast | |
Axial T1W FS post contrast | |
REPORT: | |
Primary Tumour | |
There is a small primary nasopharyngeal carcinoma involving all walls, but predominantly the right side, of the nasopharynx. | |
The nasal cavity, oropharynx and parapharyngeal regions are unremarkable. There are small bilateral otomastoid effusions. | |
The skull base is unremarkable, except for a very small area of abnormal signal in the superior aspect of the clivus which is of uncertain significance. The paranasal sinuses are unremarkable. | |
The cavernous sinus and sections of the cranium included on the scan are unremarkable. | |
Nodal Metastases | |
There are a few metastatic right retropharyngeal nodes measuring up to 8mm in diameter as well as a couple of smaller left retropharyngeal nodes that are non specific. Shotty small nodes are seen in the remainder of the neck, which are not suspicious by MRI criteria. | |
Conclusion | |
Nasopharyngeal carcinoma predominantly in the right walls of the nasopharynx. There is possibly very early extension into the right cavernous sinus. Small volume metastatic right retropharyngeal nodes. T1/2 N1. |
