Fifty cases of tumors of the base of the skull, facial skeleton and nasopharynx were studied by CT. The tumoral densities were measured and compared to the pterygoid muscle density which was used as reference. Results showed no relationship between tumoral density and histology, and intravenous contrast medium injection was not useful. CT, however, does offer many advantages in the diagnosis of nasopharynx tumors, (5 cases) and in the determination of the extension of facial skeleton tumors.
通过CT对50例颅底、面骨和鼻咽部肿瘤进行了研究。测量肿瘤密度，并与作为参照的翼状肌密度进行比较。结果显示肿瘤密度与组织学之间无相关性，静脉注射造影剂并无帮助。然而，CT在鼻咽癌（5例）诊断以及面骨肿瘤扩展范围的确定方面确实具有诸多优势。
