“…The size of the tumor was determined on angiography by the hypervascular blush. The maximum anteroposterior, transverse, and cranial caudal dimensions of each tumor are shown in the Table. The staging systems of Fisch 9 and Radkowski et al 10 were assessed by preoperative cross-sectional MR imaging. The approach and number of needles placed into the tumor, embolization time, operative time, surgical approach, blood transfusion requirement, and estimated blood loss from surgical excision were recorded from retrospective review of medical records.…”

“…Tumours were staged as per the Radkowski et al system. 25 Thirty-eight cases of juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma were detected. Tumours limited to the nose, nasopharynx, sphenoid sinus and pterygopalatine fossa, and those with limited infratemporal fossa extension, were included for endoscopic exposure and excision.…”

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of endoscopic exposure and excision for juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma.Design: Prospective analysis of the outcomes of endoscopic removal of the angiofibroma at a tertiary care centre, using endoscopic and radiological parameters.Subjects: Twenty-eight consecutive patients with angiofibroma were included. These patients underwent endonasal endoscopic excision of the lesion, following pre-operative computed tomography and digital subtraction angiography. Post-operative endoscopy and radiology were performed at six weeks to detect any residual lesion, and thereafter at six-monthly intervals to detect recurrence.Results: Twenty-one patients (75 per cent) were new cases and seven patients (25 per cent) had recurrent tumour. Pre-operative embolisation was performed in 21 patients (75 per cent). An endoscopic endonasal approach was used to access the pterygopalatine fossa. The average blood loss was 228 ml. Residual lesion was noted in one patient (initially with recurrent stage II C pathology). The remaining 27 patients (initially with stage I, II A and II B pathology) were free of residual pathology or recurrence after a minimum follow-up period of 12 months.Conclusion: Endoscopic exposure and excision of angiofibroma was found to be effective.

“…External approaches are inferiorly-via a trans-palatal route; laterally via a transtemporal or infratemporal route; anteriorly via a maxillary swing approach [3,15]. These approaches have limited access and considerable post op morbidity due to extensive and complex mobilization [12,14,15]. Transnasal endoscopic resection of nasopharyngeal tumours obviates the need for extensive soft tissue and bony mobilization [2,6].…”

Benign tumours of nasopharynx are extremely rare; seen predominantly in children and young adults. Patients usually present with seemingly innocuous symptoms and an error in judgement can be catastrophic. This is a retrospective analysis of patients diagnosed to have benign tumours of nasopharynx by histopathological examination in our tertiary care referral centre. The period of study is from September 2009 to August 2010. Eight patients with complete clinical data were identified and included in the study. All the patients were males with a mean age of 21.37 years (range 10-43). Following surgical excision patients were followed up for a mean period of 6.5 months (range 3-14). The Clinical profile, investigation modalities, treatment options are being analysed here.
