    Author: Malik MK, Kumar A, Bhatia BP.
    Journal: Indian J Med Sci; 1991 Dec; 45(12):336-42. PubMed ID: 1668094.
    Abstract:
    A total of 27 cases of nasopharyngeal angiofibroma were treated in this series. All were males and age ranged between 9 and 24 years. Predominant symptoms were epistaxis and nasal obstruction. Nasopharyngeal mass was present in all cases. Cheek extensions were observed in 6. Surgery was done in 25 cases. Transpalatal excision was done in all cases. Cheek extensions were removed through separate sublabial incisions. Additional lateral rhinotomy was required in one case. Death occurred in one case during surgery due to excessive haemorrhage. Out of 25 cases, 21 were followed up for periods ranging from 2-5 years. Complete cure was observed in 16 cases. Recurrence occurred in 5 cases, who were operated upon again. Out of 5 recurrence operated cases, 2 cases showed a second recurrence.
