summary

Nasopharyngeal fibroangioma is one of the most common benign tumors in the nasopharynx. It is easy to occur in young people. It mainly occurs in young men aged 10-25, and the ratio of men to women is also different. The morbidity rate of women is much lower than that of men. The ratio of men to women is 19:1, Therefore, it is also known as "male adolescent hemorrhagic nasopharyngeal fibroangioma". From its name, we can see its characteristics and symptoms. According to clinical medicine, this disease can stop its growth and development by itself, generally after 25 years old. At the same time, there are a few cases, and there are also cases of recurrence after operation without further treatment. It is found that the tumor disappears naturally during follow-up.

First, it is the cause of the disease. According to research statistics, the cause of the disease is still not clear, because it is very unstable. Tumors can occur in all parts of the body, with different shapes and sizes. But different from other tumors, it has smooth surface and can be pushed freely. There are two kinds of tumors, soft and hard. Soft fibroma often occurs in the chest and back.

The second is its clinical manifestations. The most obvious one is recurrent epistaxis. Due to different sizes, the manifestations are also different. Small tumors are only confined to the nasopharynx, and the amount of bleeding is not much. The lightest symptom is sometimes only blood in the nose. With the passage of time, when the tumor grows up, it is easy to recurrent epistaxis, Most of the manifestations are bleeding up to hundreds of ml.

The third is its examination, which can be divided into several parts, but the first step is always to take X-ray film, because this detection equipment can help us understand the size, expansion direction and invasion scope of the tumor, and help us to make the next plan. At the same time, selective carotid angiography is applied, which can effectively help us determine the blood supply source of the tumor.
