Abstract
Smear taken from the nasal side of the epipharynx wall in patients with epipharyngitis were stained, by Papanicoloau’s method, microscopically examined and the following result were obtained. 1. Acute epipharyngitis: in this group, swelling of cells and irregular arrangement of cells are remarkable. 2. Chronic epipharyngitis (without purulent nasal discharge): in this group, cells seem to be normal in shape but they are larger in size. 3. Chronic epipharyngitis (with purulent nasal discharge): cells and their nuclei are sweller and the outline of cells are not distinct (mucinous change is prominent).
