A distinct form of head and neck cancer, it exhibits a marked geographic predilection for populations in Southern China, Southeast Asia, and North Africa, with a strong pathophysiologic association with Epstein-Barr virus infection

The disease is classified histopathologically into keratinizing, non-keratinizing (differentiated or undifferentiated), and basaloid squamous cell subtypes It frequently manifests with early regional cervical lymphadenopathy, nasal obstruction, recurrent epistaxis, unilateral hearing changes from Eustachian tube dysfunction, or cranial nerve palsies due to skull-base invasion
