Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma (NPC) is the most common cancer in head and neck. Grading of NPC based on keratinization, growth, cell junction, it can be classified into well differentiated, moderately poorly undifferentiated. On other hand, staging UICC/AJCC system divided Stage I-IVC.

The data collected retrospectively medical records patients who are diagnosed as adequate grading data. Incomplete records, multiple carcinoma, recurrent carcinoma excluded this study. We find out among 51 samples, predominant IVB (37.3%) undifferentiated grade (76.5%). Statistical analysis shows there no significant association between (r=0.275; p=0.159).This concludes histopathological clinical nasopharyngeal carcinoma.Keywords: grading,
