The histological change of the epipharynx is affected by infection, mechanical stimulation of swallowing or articulation, humidifier of the airway, and exclusion of dust. It acts as a drainage channel for the mucous secreted by the glands in the epipharyngeal area. Various morphological changes occur because of these functions. In this study, the distribution of the gland in the epipharynx was investigated.<BR>The specimens were collected from 5 autopsy cadavers, 4 males and 1 female, and their ages ranged from 58 to 72 years. Each epipharyngeal specimen was divided into two in the midsagittal plane. Ten epipharyngeal halves were stained by PAS (periodic acid schiff reaction). We investigated the depth and the size of the glands in certain points of the specimens. The results were as follows. The distribution at the superior-posterior wall showed various patterns because of the infection and the affection of the inflammatory cells. The distribution at the nasal side (anterior wall) manifested different patterns in superior, inferior, and lateral walls. Therefore these three walls might yield different functional effects.
