Nasopharyngeal angiofibroma in a 32-year-old man.
BMJ Case Reports 2018 Februrary 9
Nasopharyngeal angiofibroma (NA) is a benign, highly vascularised tumour of the nasopharynx, which typically occurs in young males aged 14-25 years. We report an interesting case of an NA arising de novo in a 32-year-old male. He was referred to our facility for severe nasal haemorrhage after biopsy of a left nasopharyngeal mass. In the operating room, extensive bleeding was noted, and an endoscopic medial maxillectomy was performed, and the left internal maxillary artery was ligated allowing for near total resection of the lesion. The pathological specimen confirmed the diagnosis of NA. To our knowledge, this is one of the oldest patients presenting with a de novo NA, in his fourth decade of life, confirming that this diagnosis must be considered in all those with large nasopharyngeal masses.
