Abstract

Thirty-three cases of nasopharyngeal carcinoma are reported. This is the first report of this condition from Jordan. Age, sex, early presentation and metastases are discussed. Bimodal distribution of age showed two peaks between 16–20 and 41–45 years. The disease was more common in males. Lymph node enlargement was the most common presentation, and bone metastases were the most frequent.
