Abstract:
The hypopharynx is a clinically silent area and early lesions may be asymptomatic for a long period. At presentation, primary squamous cell carcinoma of this area is usually advanced. Almost all of these lesions are studied with imaging as part of the clinical work-up. The goal of this article is to help the practicing radiologist convey a report which provides information that will directly influence treatment of patients with hypopharyngeal carcinoma.
