Abstract
|
|
|
|
Angiofibroma which is rare benign tumor found in the nasal cavity is often called juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma because it occurs mainly in the posterior lateral wall of the nasopharynx of adolescent males. It is known that outpatient biopsy is contraindicated due to its hypervascularity which has the potential for massive bleeding. It is difficult to recognize in advance when it is observed as a form originating outside the nasopharynx. We report a case of successfully treated angiofibroma without preoperative embolization originating from the middle turbinate in a 63-year-old woman with nasal obstruction, along with a literature review.
