Overview
Nasopharyngeal carcinoma may be classified according to microscopic features into 3 subtypes: well-differentiated, moderately-differentiated, and undifferentiated type.
Classification
Nasopharyngeal carcinoma may be classified according to microscopic features into 3 subtypes:[1]
- Well-differentiated (keratinizing type)
- Moderately-differentiated (nonkeratinizing type)
- Undifferentiated (most strongly associated with Epstein-Barr virus infection)
-
Undifferentiated nasopharyngeal carcinoma - low power
-
Undifferentiated nasopharyngeal carcinoma - med. power
-
Undifferentiated nasopharyngeal carcinoma - high power
