The association between the symptoms of various conditions was investigated in patients first presenting with a sore throat (n=613) and pain when swallowing (n=109).This study was performed at the Department of Otorhinolaryngology of the Tokyo Women's Medical College Daini Hospital.1) Many patients with lesions of the palatine tonsils complained of a sore throat.2) Lesions of the nasopharynx were detected in 4.6% of those patients presenting with a sore throat.3) Many patients with lesions involving the lateral pharyngeal wall complained of pain when swallowing.4) Many patients with lesions of the epiglottis or when pyriform fossa complained of pain when swallowing.5) Some patients with cancer of the thoracic esophagus complained of pain when swallowing.6) When a patient presents with a complaint of pain when swallowing, the site of the pain and its association with food intake should be fully clarified by a careful history.
