Figure 2From: Hypertrophic adenoids in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma: appearance at magnetic resonance imaging before and after treatment Axial T1-weighted contrast-enhanced MRI before treatment of a 13-year-old boy who had NPC coexisting with hypertrophic adenoids. The interfaces between NPC and hypertrophic adenoids are ill-defined, indicating that the adenoids were invaded (long arrow). The presence of hypertrophic adenoid extension into the left pharyngeal recesses is also detected (short arrow).Back to article page
