Extensive fibroangioma

Fifteen cases of fibroangioma of nasopharynx with extrapharyngeal extension were treated surgically. At 2 years follow up 79% of these cases were free of the tumour. Proper pre-operative evaluation of all possible extrapharyngeal extensions is the single-most important factor for successful complete surgical excision. Radiotherapy as primary treatment of FAN is not recommended except for those with inoperable intracranial extensions. Recently introduced chemotherapy may prove to be a useful therapeutic tool in future
