Abstract:
Nasopharyngeal fibroma (NF) is a rare nasopharyngeal tumor of a benign histological nature but with local aggressiveness. It is a hypervascular tumor and the main feeding artery comes from the internal maxillary artery. Surgery is the treatment of choice for this tumor but carries a significant risk of bleeding from surgical treatment. Thus, embolization carried out preoperatively effectively reduces intraoperative bleeding and thereby allows complete resection for large tumors.
