Nasopharyngeal fibroma or juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma is the most common
benign tumor of the nasopharynx. It occurs mainly in adolescent males in the 2nd
decade of life and is though to be testosterone dependent. As the name "angiofibroma"
itself indicates it is made up of vascular and fibrous tissues. Now it is believed that the
nasopharyngeal angiofibroma arises from the posterior part of the nasal cavity close to
the margin of sphenopalatine foramen. Patient is always a young boy who complains of
unilateral nasal obstruction and epistaxis. Profuse and recurrent epistaxis is the most
common presentation. Severe pallor may be present due to repeated blood loss. On
examination a smooth and small mass is seen on posterior rhinoscopy. Other features
include broadening of nasal bridge, proptosis, swelling of cheek, and involvement of
2nd, 3rd, 4th, or 6th cranial nerve. CT scan is diagnostic. Surgical excision of tumor is
now the treatment of choice.
