Abstract

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is one of the common head and neck malignancies found in Indonesia. Diagnosis was based on histopathological result of tumor tissues taken from the nasopharynx. Histopathological from nasopharyngeal blind biopsy remains a golden standard of NPC diagnosis. Blind biopsy causes many problems for patients including pain sensation, risk of bleeding and traumatic effect. Another technique for obtaining specimen for evaluation malignant cells of nasopharynx was by cytological investigation. Cytology evaluation could detect malignant cells from smear specimen. Cytological specimen could be obtained from nasopharynx by brushing method. Cells are collected by brushing then processed with liquid-based technique; specimens were smeared and stained for cytology evaluation. Since nasopharynx location is invisible, then nasopharyngoscopy guidance was used to obtain a brushing specimen.
