The nasopharynx and laryngopharynx were found to be the most common sites.

A prerequisite for pneumococcal disease and transmission is colonization of the nasopharynx.

However, colonization and persistence in the nasopharynx is clearly an essential first step.

We suggest that general anesthesia is rarely necessary for definitive biopsy of the nasopharynx.

Within this region, primary NHL of the nasopharynx is rare.
