    Area of Science:

    • Surgical Oncology
    • Head and Neck Surgery
    • Otolaryngology

    Background:

    • Angiofibromas, particularly large ones, pose significant surgical challenges due to their location.
    • Conventional surgical approaches often result in substantial facial disfigurement and morbidity.

    Observation:

    • A large angiofibroma presented in multiple, difficult-to-access anatomical regions.
    • Standard surgical methods would have necessitated extensive tissue removal and reconstruction.

    Findings:

    • A transfacial surgical approach involving temporary disarticulation of the maxilla, still attached to the cheek, was employed.
    • This technique provided direct access to the retromaxillary and other challenging areas.

    Implications:

    • This innovative technique offers a less mutilating alternative for managing extensive angiofibromas.
    • The described surgical method may improve functional and aesthetic outcomes in complex head and neck tumor resections.
