Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a rare and distinct malignancy that arises from the epithelium of the nasophalynx. It accounts almost 1 % of all pediatric malignancies. Oral complications of radiotherapy in the head and neck region are the result of the deleterious effects of radiation on salivary glands, oral mucosa, bone, dentition, masticatory musculature, and temporomandibular joints.
