[[Biopsy]] may be [[diagnostic]] of hypopharyngeal cancer. Findings on [[biopsy]] [[diagnostic]] of hypopharyngeal cancer include [[spindle cell]]s, basaloid [[cells]], and [[nuclear]] [[atypia]].
As dysphagia is a common presenting symptom, a barium swallow is often the first examination requested. Small sessile or superficially spreading lesions can be difficult or impossible to diagnose. Larger lesions may be visualised as irregular filling defects or result in asymmetry.
