A case of angiofibroma limited to the right posterior nasal cavity, nasopharynx and pterygopalatine fossa was operated upon transnasally under endoscopic control. The tumour was completely excised without complications. Endoscopic follow-up for the next two years and contrast computed tomography (CT) excluded any residual tumour or recurrence. The advantages, limitations and possible complications of this approach are discussed. It seems that in limited lesions of angiofibroma, the option of a transnasal endoscopic approach could be cautiously considered by experienced surgeons.
1例局限于右侧后鼻腔、鼻咽部及翼腭窝的血管纤维瘤在内镜控制下经鼻进行了手术。肿瘤被完全切除，无并发症。接下来两年的内镜随访及增强计算机断层扫描（CT）排除了任何残留肿瘤或复发。讨论了该手术方法的优点、局限性及可能的并发症。对于血管纤维瘤的局限性病变，经验丰富的外科医生似乎可以谨慎考虑经鼻内镜手术这一选择。
