Nasopharyngeal angiofibromas are best treated with surgery. While recurrence is possible, especially within two years, the lateral rhinotomy approach offers the best outcomes for these tumors.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Nasopharyngeal angiofibromas (NA) are benign, aggressive tumors typically affecting adolescent males.
  • These tumors often present at advanced stages, posing surgical challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the clinical characteristics of nasopharyngeal angiofibromas.
  • To evaluate different surgical techniques and their outcomes.
  • To analyze recurrence patterns following surgical intervention.

Main Methods:

  • A 25-year retrospective analysis of 110 consecutive nasopharyngeal angiofibroma cases.
  • Surgical approaches included transpalatal, lateral rhinotomy, external ethmoidectomy, and transnasal methods.
  • Patients were followed for 2-5 years post-surgery to monitor for recurrence.

Main Results:

  • Recurrence was observed in 33 out of 118 operated cases, with all recurrences noted within two years.
  • Four patients required three surgeries, and one required four surgeries.
  • The lateral rhinotomy approach was associated with fewer recurrences.

Conclusions:

  • Surgery remains the primary treatment for nasopharyngeal angiofibroma.
  • No single surgical approach is universally applicable; however, lateral rhinotomy is often effective with lower recurrence rates.
  • Recurrence of nasopharyngeal angiofibroma typically occurs within two years post-operation.
