Abstract
Nasopharyngeal angiofibroma (NA) is a benign, slowly growing tumour that affects males in their early puberty, and rarely men over 25 years of age. There was an interesting case of a giant recurrent NA in a 62-year-old male, which is challenging to manage due to wide tumour expansion to paranasal sinuses, orbital and intracranial. In cases of large angiofibromas disease, preoperative embolization should be performed to prevent profuse bleeding. Wide expansion of NA can cause post extirpation large defects of the tumour so that optimal defect closure techniques are needed to restore the aesthetics and function of the disturbed organs. This case's diagnosis and management of this disease was carried out by multidisciplinary discussion, and surgical extirpation of the joint tumour was performed in Dr. Soetomo General Academic Teaching Hospital. The tumour was removed by medial maxillectomy with an extended Killian right lateral rhinotomy approach followed by tumour defects reconstruction. The follow up showed that there were still tumour residue and suspicious intracranial abscess, but the patient had no complaint during follow-up for ten months after surgery.Entities:
