Abstract
Tumors of the mouth, pharynx, nose, and paranasal sinuses are commonly encountered in general surgical pathology practice. Some, such as squamous cell carcinoma, resemble homonymous tumors in other parts of the body, whereas others, such as olfactory neuroblastomas, are unique to this anatomic region. This chapter limits the discussion to the tumors that are most often graded by surgical pathologists.
