Article Abstract
Nasopharyngeal angiofibroma is a rare head and neck tumor characterized by hypervascularity. With the development of various surgical devices and hemostatic agents, endoscopic endonasal surgery for nasopharyngeal angiofibroma, which is characterized by significant intraoperative bleeding, has become possible. We describe our experiences performing an effective endoscopic endonasal removal of a nasopharyngeal angiofibroma without embolization, using advanced devices and hemostatic agents. A 21-year-old male patient presented with massive epistaxis. The characteristic findings of angiofibroma were confirmed by computed tomography scan and nasal endoscopy. Navigation-guided endoscopic endonasal surgery was performed, and complementary devices and products were used to effectively remove the mass. Development of navigation, endoscopes, tissue handling devices, and hemostatic agents has enabled effective endoscopic endonasal removal of nasopharyngeal angiofibroma without embolization.

BACKGROUND Pediatric sinonasal tumors are rare, accounting for about 4% of all pediatric head and neck neoplasms. Due to their nonspecific symptoms such as nasal obstruction, epistaxis, and facial pain, these tumors often present diagnostic challenges and lead to delays in managment. Early and accurate diagnosis is crucial to optimize clinical outcomes.

The differential diagnosis of sinonasal lesions includes benign and malignant disease. Current radiologic diagnosis depends on the complementary roles of CT and MRI. PET/CT has been widely utilized for diagnosis and staging of various types of tumors as well as assessing treatment response.

Uncontrolled epistaxis in patients with juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma requires prompt intervention. When embolization is required, neovascularization can occur, making expedited surgical resection essential. We conducted a single-institution, retrospective review of one patient.

In this paper, we describe how we successfully debulked a large juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma (JNA) in a 15-year-old boy using the coblation technique. The child had been complaining about recurrent epistaxis and persistent nasal obstruction for several months. JNA is a rare benign tumor that predominantly affects adolescent and young adult males.

Background: Staging systems for nasopharyngeal angiofibroma (NA) have traditionally shown inconsistencies in anatomical prioritization and have not adequately incorporated functional considerations.
Methods: A novel, comprehensive staging system was developed through expert consensus (N = 8) using the Delphi method. This system consists of three components: (1) Composite Anatomical Status (CAS) comprising of tumor extensions in all anterior, posterior, lateral, and superior directions; (2) Composite Symptom Score (CSS) that grades the patient's clinical symptomatology; and (3) Functional Performance Status (FPS) that describes subjective assessment of surgical feasibility based on day to day functional wellbeing.
