Carcinoma de células escamosas originando-se da orofaringe. Afeta predominantemente adultos nas quinta e sexta décadas de vida e está associada ao uso de álcool e tabaco. O papilomavírus humano está presente em aproximadamente metade dos casos. É caracterizado por uma tendência de metástase precoce para os gânglios linfáticos. Quando o tumor é pequeno, os pacientes são frequentemente assintomáticos. O exame físico pode revelar lesões ou placas eritematosas ou brancas. A maioria dos pacientes apresenta doença localmente avançada. Sinais e sintomas incluem ulceração da mucosa, dor, sangramento, perda de peso, inchaço no pescoço e dificuldade para falar, mastigar e engolir. Os pacientes também podem apresentar linfonodos cervicais inchados, sem quaisquer sintomas de tumor orofaríngeo. Os fatores prognósticos mais significativos são o tamanho do tumor e o status dos linfonodos. | |||
