Abstract
|
|
|
|
Nasopharyngeal angiofibroma is uncommon, histologically benign vascular tumor that occurs almost exclusively in adolescent males. It is clinically malignant because it has propensity for locally destructive growth and fatal hemorrhage. Treatment of angiofibroma is controversial. The two major treatment modality are surgery and radiation. Adjuvant treatment with chemotherapy or embolization can be used as well. We experienced three cases of nasopharyngeal angiofibroma that was respected by transpalatine and endoscopic endonasal approach with good result. So, we report these with review of literature.
