술전 색전술 없이 제거한 하비갑개에서 발생한비인강외 혈관 섬유종 치험 1례 = A Case of Extranasopharyngeal Angiofibroma Arising from the Inferior Turbinate Removed without Pre-Operative Embolization

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The angiofibroma is a highly vascular and histologically benign neoplasm that usually arises in the nasopharyx in adolescent male patients. It accounts for less than 0.5% of all head and neck neoplasm. Reports of primary extra-nasopharyngeal angiofibroma have appeared sporadically in the literature.
The inferior turbinate is a very rare site of extra-nasopharyngeal angiofibroma, with only 5 cases reported in the medical literature. Also, the value of embolization in surgery for extra-nasopharyngeal angiofibroma is a controversial matter.
We report a case of extra-nasopharyngeal angiofibroma arising from the inferior turbinate of a 37-year-old male. The tumor was completely removed through endonasal, endoscopic technique without pre-operative embolization.
Histopathology confirmed it to be a case of angiofibroma. The patient is currently free of relapse 6 months after surgery. Endoscopic resection is a feasible and safe method for angiofibroma surgery. The current evidence does not support obligatory embolization in every case of endoscopic angiofibroma resection.
