Following irradiation CT can be challenging, as irradiated mucosa often becomes edematous, and soft tissue fibrosis may develop, obliterating or distorting normal fat planes and potentially mimicking tumor involvement.

Overview

Head and neck CT scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of hypopharyngeal cancer. Findings on CT scan suggestive of hypopharyngeal cancer include soft tissue mass, irregular thickening of mucosa, and necrotic region which is a sign of metastasis.

CT Scan

Head and neck CT scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of hypopharyngeal cancer. Findings on CT scan suggestive of hypopharyngeal cancer include:[1][2]

Hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma[3]
